Forest Nursery Production Operator Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent several years working in forest and ornamental nursery environments, where careful propagation and timely care are everything. At [Previous Company], I helped run a block of 12,000 seedlings from seed to sale, coordinating soil mixes, trays and irrigation with the team to keep losses under 5%. I’m comfortable with the hands-on, steady work and I’ll bring that same focus to [Company Name]. In this role I’d contribute with soil preparation, fertiliser mixing and container readiness, plus pruning, grafting and bud work as needed. I’ve kept records of soil recipes, plantings and treatments, and I’ve supported customer advice on plant choices and care. I’m familiar with pest and disease checks, weed control and adjusting nutrition to match plant stage and environmental conditions. A practical example from a recent season: I monitored a batch of shrubs through early establishment, adjusted watering and nutrition, and applied targeted treatment where pests appeared. We reduced plant losses by significantly improving early-stage vigor, and I kept the team aligned on daily tasks and spacing. I find it helps to stay calm, follow a plan and document changes so the team can learn as we go. I’m available to discuss how my hands-on experience fits [Company Name] and the role. I can be reached to arrange a time for a chat. Kind regards, [Your Name]
