Dear Hiring Manager,

With 6 years of experience as a groundskeeper and gardener in educational and hospital settings, I am excited to apply for this opportunity.

I am currently serving as the Deputy Groundskeeper at the University of Smithfield, where my responsibilities align closely with the requirements of this position. Specifically, I am skilled in planting seeds, bulbs, tree seedlings, and shrubbery, as well as pruning trees and trimming hedges. I also have experience in mowing lawns using hand and power mowers, and in inspecting and treating flowers, shrubs, and trees for pests and diseases. Additionally, I am proficient in installing, repairing, and maintaining barriers, fences, and gates.

Prior to my current role, I worked as a groundskeeper at Benaton Healthcare for 2 years, managing two locations on a part-time basis.

I have greatly enjoyed my time at the university, but due to a recent relocation, I am now seeking an opportunity closer to my new residence.

I have attached my resume for your review. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team.

Yours faithfully,
Tom Heffelfinger
