Worker Testimonials
I worked with Cape Ann Gardens at a time in my life when I needed a change. Sophia was supportive and flexible. She understood what I needed as a parent and as someone who’s tended my own garden for decades. She provided the tools I needed and set me up for success at every turn. - 2022 Seasonal Assistant Gardener
I worked with Sophia the first season she was operating as a business. She was kind, supportive, and clear with her instructions. I’m impressed how she’s built her clientele, selecting only the properties and jobs that align with the company’s mission and her values. She’s bootstrapping the whole thing from the ground up, and I’ve been really inspired by the part that I played in the business’s growth. - 2021 Seasonal Assistant Gardener
Working for Cape Ann Gardens was an enriching and formative experience.

It was a refreshing and grounding work experience where you’ll establish a deeper understanding of gardening that’ll leave you better off. - 2022-2023 Gardener
A bit more about us…
At Cape Ann Gardens, we believe that everyone should have a meaningful, sustainable work life that supports their physical and mental health while not wreaking environmental havoc on this shared Earth.
Gardening for work does just that: you engage your body to yield a tangible and visible impact on your physical surroundings.
Whether caring for private grounds or tending our demonstration garden, you’d be outside and working alongside other people who believe in our mission and share our values.
An opportunity unlike any you’ve had before.
We recognize that no matter how complex your life is, you still deserve the opportunity to work and generate income. We offer flexible scheduling that can accommodate caregiving responsibilities, your health, and any spiritual or emotional needs you may have.
Our flexibility also extends to the types of working relationships we foster: You are welcome to consider being an employee, a subcontractor, or bring your own client base and open a subsidiary of our LLC where we share business costs and grow alongside each other.
We believe in growth.
Whether coming to us with robust experience working on farms and in gardens or just learning about the field for the first time, we meet you where you’re at — and support you in developing your own professional skills so that you can either continue to work with us and expand our capacity, or so you can continue to follow your dreams and forge your own path.
