Nursery Hand Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last couple of years hands-on with propagation, transplanting and keeping nursery sites tidy, which I’ve found makes a real difference when you’re trying to keep plants healthy through busy seasons. At [Previous Company] we ran a small seedling block where I managed daily watering, weed control and basic irrigation adjustments. We grew about 6–8 trays a week and I learnt to spot trouble early, which helped cut losses and keep the lines moving. I’m comfortable with the core duties you’re after: loading and unloading supplies, moving gear around the yard, preparing plots, propagating and transplanting, and keeping the beds clean. I’ve used hand tools and small garden machines, and I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves to tidy work areas or remove rubbish. I’m familiar with basic site prep, plant care, and handling safety around equipment, including adjusting mist and shade where needed. One practical example from my time at [Previous Company] involved a late-season run where a combo of heat and wet soil slowed transplanting. I rechecked irrigation timing, adjusted a few mist cycles, and set aside a shaded area for sensitive plugs. Significantly improved plant recovery rates and kept the work schedule on track, which helped us meet the weekly target and reduce downtime. I’m keen to bring these hands-on skills to [Company Name] and contribute to steady, reliable nursery operations. I’m available for a chat this week to discuss how I can fit with your team. Kind regards, [Your Name]
