**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

Schedule

  • 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.
