Spend a season learning how plants move from soil to customer at the largest family-owned nursery and landscape operation in the Midwest.

You'll work alongside our master growers, greenhouse manager, and garden center team, supporting our Nursery Growing, Greenhouse, and Garden Center Retail divisions, and seeing firsthand how those teams supply our Landscape Design & Construction work. Lanoha has been family-owned and operated since 1974, and many of our leaders have spent their careers here.
