Pike Nurseries is hoping 200 new seasonal workers will want to play in the dirt at its locations in metro Atlanta and Greensboro.

The Atlanta-based retailer said it is looking for applicants “with a green thumb and strong desire to help customers.” It said it needs manager trainees, sales associates, cashiers and maintenance/loaders. The interview process will include difficult gardening questions, the retailer said.

Pike has 14 metro Atlanta locations and a nursery at Lake Oconee on Linger Longer Road in Greensboro. The retailer also has a store in Charlotte, N.C.
