Minimum skills needed:  Intelligence, reliability, and persistence. Also, and I’m not kidding, the ability to stay off your phone while working. 

Extra skills I’m hoping you have:  The tasks may not seem to require higher order thinking, but I’d like to work with someone who is willing to think beyond "do this task" by first thinking it through, ask questions at the onset; break the job into logical components, stay curious about ways to work smarter; and very important…communicate effectively.

Physical Demands

Gardening involves digging holes, digging up and dividing mature plants, raking, spreading mulch, some shallow trenching. We might also be carrying stuff out of my basement, moving furniture to clean, moving pots, whatever.
