Pay is $19/hour and the season runs from June to late September or mid-October (depending on the weather). We are looking to hire someone immediately. The required shifts are Tuesday - Saturday, from 9:00 AM - 3 PM. Some days, you may need to stay until 3:15 to finish closing.

Bloomed Life is a floral boutique and flower collective located in Salt Lake. Our mission is to provide high-quality, locally-grown flowers to florists and flower-loving customers. Bloomed Life is also the sister business to Utah Flower Farm, Utah's largest flower farm and the third-largest rose farm in the United States. Both businesses are female-owned and focused on sustainability. The farm is located in Holladay and grows over 12,000 garden roses, with over 100 different varieties. Our fragrant garden roses are sold along with a myriad of other flowers from our partner's farms at Bloomed Life. Our partner farms include Wasatch Blooms, Sego Lily Flower Farm, and Three Sprouts Flower Farm, though we are continually looking for reputable farms to connect with. Our partners offer everything from Peonies to Feverfew to Yarrow, and so on.
