**Horticulturalist Foreman – Kingston, ON
Fine Lines Landscape and Designs**
Fine Lines Landscape and Designs is seeking a Horticulturalist Foreman to lead our gardening crew for the upcoming season. We are a small, hardworking, and genuinely happy team—and we take our crew culture very seriously. Poor attitudes are not tolerated here. We work hard, support each other, and have a lot of fun doing it.
This is a horticulture-first position. While there may be occasional overlap assisting our hardscape crew, this role is primarily focused on gardening, plant care, and horticultural excellence.
Position Details
- Seasonal contract role: April to December
- Strong potential for long-term employment with annual raises
- Full-time hours
What We're Looking For
- Clean driving record is absolutely required
- Ideally 3+ years experience as a foreman running a crew
- OR significant horticultural experience with readiness to step into a leadership role
- Certified Horticulturalist is a major asset
- Alternatively, 10+ years hands-on industry experience will be considered
- Strong plant knowledge and pride in quality work
- Positive, team-oriented attitude (this is non-negotiable)
This is a horticultural position, not a hardscaping role (occasional assistance only)
Location & Transportation
- Based out of Kingston, Ontario
- Crew meets at the office each morning and travels to job sites in company trucks
- A personal vehicle is not required, but is a major asset
- Public transportation is possible, as the office is located within the city

- Rare Saturday work
- Only during weather delays or peak workload periods
What Sets Fine Lines Apart
- Strong focus on horticulture and plant health
- Active involvement in the industry, including Landscape Ontario meetings and events
- Commitment to continuing education and professional development
- Supportive, respectful, drama-free crew culture
- Leadership that values people, craftsmanship, and learning
Wage & Benefits
- $28–$35 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications
- Paid vacation time after 2 years with Fine Lines
- Opportunities for long-term growth and advancement
If you're passionate about horticulture, ready to lead, and want to be part of a company that truly values both its people and its plants, we'd love to hear from you.
