Nothing says “thank you” like a Friday cookout! In the middle of our busy season, we pressed pause to celebrate the people who make James River Nurseries exceptional—our team. With Eric’s famous Carolina-style BBQ sizzling, Joanne’s homemade mac salad and sautéed onions on the table, and burgers and dogs grilling on our new outdoor kitchen, it was the perfect recipe for good food and even better company. Big thanks to Robbie for jumping in to help—teamwork makes it all happen.
What Makes JRN a Great Place to Work
At JRN, we believe great landscapes start with great people. We’re a family-feel workplace where every individual is seen, appreciated, and set up to succeed. That shows up in the little moments—like a shared lunch after a long week—and in the big ones, like how we collaborate, communicate, and celebrate wins together.
- People first: We value each person’s strengths and contributions.
- Belonging & respect: We show up for one another, on job sites and off.
- Growth mindset: From seasoned pros to newer team members, we learn and advance together.
- Pride in our craft: High standards, safe practices, and quality work—every project, every time.
Culture You Can Feel
Cookouts like this aren’t just a perk—they’re part of our culture of appreciation. When we invest in our people, they pour that same care into our clients’ landscapes across Richmond and Central Virginia. That’s why JRN is a place where talented folks build careers, not just punch clocks.
