Request labor supportBuilt around production
Labor that follows the nursery calendar.
Nursery operations move plants—and labor demand—through distinct growing, handling, order, and shipping phases.
Potting, spacing, pruning, staking, irrigation support, plant movement, digging, order preparation, loading, and seasonal shipping peaks all shape the right workforce plan.
Arch Labor coordinates crews and the supporting logistics around those phases, helping the operation maintain plant quality and fulfill customer demand during its busiest windows.
Turnkey workforce support
What Arch Labor coordinates.
Labor works best when the crew and the logistics surrounding the crew are planned as one system.
Nursery crews
Reliable labor aligned with plant care, material handling, order preparation, loading, and field or container work.
Housing
Housing coordination based on the crew, season dates, arrival plan, and daily transportation needs.
Transportation
Workforce movement planned around housing, nursery locations, start times, and seasonal schedule changes.
Worksite training
Clear expectations around careful plant handling, equipment areas, order accuracy, safety, and nursery workflow.
Ongoing coordination
Continued support as weather, customer orders, shipping dates, and production demands change.
Plan early
Plan for the shipping peak before it arrives.
Start with the weeks when order volume, digging, staging, or loading create the greatest pressure. Then work backward through the production tasks that prepare inventory for those dates.
Arch Labor uses that calendar to coordinate a workforce plan that supports both plant readiness and customer fulfillment.

Answers for growers.
What types of nurseries does Arch Labor support?
Arch Labor supports container nurseries, field nurseries, ornamental growers, tree and shrub operations, and other qualifying horticultural businesses across the United States.
Can crews support order preparation and loading?
A workforce plan can include qualifying seasonal agricultural tasks such as plant movement, order preparation, staging, and loading when appropriate to the nursery operation.
Can the plan account for multiple nursery locations?
Yes. We consider locations, housing, transportation routes, shift times, worker count, and work schedules together when building the plan.
When should a nursery start planning?
Begin as early as practical, especially when labor demand is tied to a concentrated spring or fall shipping season. Estimated dates and worker counts are enough to start.
