Position Summary Information
| Job Description Summary: | The Campus Garden Manager supports the management, maintenance, and continued development of Villanova University’s campus garden. Responsibilities include planting, harvesting, garden upkeep, seasonal planning, safe use of tools and equipment, and overseeing students, faculty, staff, and volunteers. Garden Managers report to and work closely with the Assistant Director of the Office for Sustainability but are expected to work independently with minimal supervision. |

| Requirements: | Prior experience growing food, including vegetables, fruits, or other edible crops, is required. Candidates must have knowledge of gardening practices, experience using garden tools and equipment, and the ability to operate tools and occasional machinery safely. Strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently and supervise volunteers. |
| Additional Information: | This is a year-round position with responsibilities that vary seasonally. During the growing season, work will focus primarily on garden maintenance, planting, harvesting, and volunteer coordination. During the non-growing season, responsibilities will shift toward garden improvement projects, site development, maintenance, research, and planning for future growing seasons. Preference will be given to students who are local to campus and available to work during the summer months, when garden maintenance needs are greatest. |
| Physical Demands Summary: | This position requires regular outdoor physical activity, including standing, walking, bending, kneeling, digging, lifting, carrying materials, and operating garden tools and equipment. Work takes place outdoors in varying weather and seasonal conditions. |
| Wage Rate: | $15.00/hour |
