Groundskeeper

As a Groundskeeper, you’re a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to plant and land care. With your impressive ability to grow beautiful flowers and your steady hand when trimming shrubs and bushes, employers hire you to turn out-of-control land into tame front yards. A Groundskeeper job gives you the freedom to work everywhere from fancy mansions to university campuses. If plants grow there, you can bet they need a Groundskeeper to help them thrive.

When you head to work in the morning, you start the day making your rounds of the client’s property. Like a sharp-eyed Watchman, you scout out plants that need a little tender love and care. You’re also on the lookout for pesky bugs or weeds trying to destroy your creations.

After feeding your plants and pulling up nasty weeds, you set out to clean up the yard. Picking up stray sticks and trimming bushes give any yard an impressive makeover. Once the general maintenance tasks are done, you can move on to the satisfying task of planting new seeds that will soon grow into delightful blossoms.

At the end of the day, you hang your hat proudly knowing you play an important role in the creation and care of one of nature’s wonders. Whether you care for graceful weeping willow trees or nurture colorful flowers back to life, you truly have a green thumb.
