Diana; I can see you've had some experience at this!
LOL! I would be starting the hiring process for the Spring Season (end of March through Father’s Day) right now. I have employees that will be life-long friends, though most of us have left the company by now. Everyone started in the Bare Root Room, and then we slowly ended up outside as nursery products, perennials and annual started filling the yard each week. It was always really fun to see the products I had ordered in the dead of winter, inside and out. Talk about ALL of us having Spring Fever!
Unloading TEN semi-trucks some days wasn’t really all that much fun, though. ;)
I kind of miss hiring new people; it was pretty easy to fill the positions because it really was a fun job, but I don’t miss it enough to go back to work. I now have my own ‘Garden Center’ right here at my farm.
