Cannabis jobs at Southland Greenhouses

Job Description: Master Grower

Our Master Grower will work in tandem with our current grower who is a 3rd generation grower, trained with the knowledge of the generations before him. We need an additional grower to support our business and plant production team in order to sustain current demand and, hopefully, meet greater demands in the future. Our growers will also have the support of our growing consultant who has over 25 years of growing experience.

Knowledge of specific plants we grow would be excellent, but we are willing to train and teach. Our top plants are easter lilies and poinsettias, but we also grow a variety of other plants such as hydrangeas, succulents, begonias, petunias, ivies, jews, new guinea impatients, azaleas, bulbs, and more.

Specific job responsibilities would be managing the full life cycle of our plants, from purchase of cuttings, bulbs, roots, or seeds, and growing and maintaining a healthy plant. Growers would need to constantly monitor for pests and create treatment plans as they arise, as well as make sure temperature, humidity, ventilation, and light conditions are always optimal for healthy growing. Growers will also help plan out, schedule, and execute future growing cycles.

We seek an individual with a Bachelor’s of Science in Agriculture, and specializing in an area such as general agriculture, crop production, or plant pathology.

Company History & Grower Needs

Southland Greenhouses is a local, family owned and operated business that is located in Cobb County. Established in 1980 by Emil & Lorraine Helbling, Southland has succeeded in remaining highly profitable throughout 4 decades, many economic crises, and the international pandemic. After Emil’s death in 2003, he was succeeded in ownership by his 3 sons. Now, after 42 years in business the brothers are set for retirement and excitingly, Southland Greenhouses is headed into its 3rd generation of ownership with Emil’s granddaughter and her husband taking the reins. With this transition of retirement and ownership change comes some obvious challenges and one is that we are in need of a Master Grower to assist our current Grower.

Company Overview

Southland Greenhouses is a premier grower and supplier of household plants in the Southeast. Within a 100-mile radius, we hold the market in store-to-door foliage delivery. We have 6 delivery routes that run from south Atlanta and into north Georgia, as well as into Alabama, Tennessee, and North and South Carolinas. These routes deliver plants to hundreds of small businesses, mainly florists and flower shops. We also have a few corporate customers such as Kroger and Pikes. While the majority of our plants are delivered, we also offer in-house pick-ups for local customers.

In addition to our sales routes, we hold bi-annual fundraisers with local schools and organizations based around Spring and Winter (Easter and Christmas respectively). We also offer separate sales to churches during these seasons. These fundraisers and sales are focused on the sales of our hand grown blooming plants such as Easter lilies, poinsettias, and a large variety of hanging baskets. On average, we grow around 50,000 poinsettias, 30,000 Easter lilies and 30,000 hanging baskets each year. We also grow and assortment of bulbs, cacti & hydrangeas, as well as other plants. Our tropical foliage is imported weekly from Florida and offered to our customers year-round; this supplies profits during the Summer and Fall seasons.

Lastly, in recent years, the emergence of Covid encouraged Southland Greenhouses to also hold a short Spring sale to the public at our outdoor plant stand. This 4–6-week sale in March and April is very successful. So, while we are predominantly a wholesale provider, we do offer sales to the public during certain seasons and hope to see these sales grow in duration and profitability in the future.
