| Hi all - What is the best way to find a gardener to hire - to plant plants. I hurt my back - and I had already bought plants now I need help to get them into the ground A lot of landscapers' - are not really 'plant folks - meaning that do not know difference between a weed and other plants. So my thought was to find a gardener. Any way - I would like to hire a 'gardener' I am in the north east - in Warren, NJ 07059. What is the best way to find a 'gardener for hire?  |

| I just had a thought. Either a local high schooler who needs community service time or the local Boy Scouts. You might find one eager to help and learn a little something in the process. I am sure that they can follow directions. Rodney Wilcox Jones, my idol! Businessman, Orchid grower, hybridizer, lived to 107! |

| Many garden centers that sell the plants offer planting as a service, or should be able to refer someone. |

| Maybe just give these groups a call, perhaps they can point you in the right direction https://gardenclubofnewjersey.... Maybe some of these Master Gardeners are near you: https://njaes.rutgers.edu/mast...

Serendipityv said:Hi all - Google "find a gardener to hire" specifying your locality. You will find MANY offers in these unemployment days. Demand experiences pre-2018 though. People lie. And be VERY specific about what you want them to do. |
