BALLYSEEDY Home and Garden Centre is hiring.

The garden centre industry has experienced a revival as a result of the pandemic with people investing more time and energy in their home and gardens.

As well as gardening, there has been a boom in indoor plants as people look to bring nature into their homes. Numerous studies have shown that indoor plants boost mood, reduce stress, and clean the air by absorbing toxins.

“People definitely have a much greater appreciation for their home and gardens since the pandemic began” said Nathan McDonnell, co-owner at Ballyseedy with his mother Bernie Falvey. “We have invested a lot in our garden centre stock with some stunning indoor and outdoor plants and we’re seeing a lot of new faces through the doors” added Nathan.

As a result of this growth, Ballyseedy are looking to fill three roles in the flagship store on the outskirts of Tralee.  Please send CVs to jobs@ballyseedy.ie.
