Come Grow with A.M. Leonard!

Ashbel Merrel Leonard started A.M. Leonard in 1885 and since that time, we have grown into a leader in the horticultural and tool supply industry. What has not changed is our emphasis on hard work and doing business the old-fashioned way. We grow, we innovate, and we work hard. Just like you, we do whatever it takes to get the job done. We are proud to be in Piqua, OH where our family-owned and family-friendly business has always been located.

We strive to make work a place that you enjoy. You never know just who might pop into your office throughout the day, a visiting dog, goat (yes, a goat!), or even AM Henard the local chicken who has decided to adopt us. During our peak season, we have weekly appreciation events to help alleviate some of the stress (think food, games, and giveaways!)

We offer a high deductible health plan (HDHP), dental, and vision insurance. We contribute $60 per month to enrolled employees' HSA accounts.

We know that healthcare can be a difficult expense for everyone, so we've recently opened a near-site health clinic for employees and their dependents who are enrolled in our HDHP. All covered members have access to this clinic where they can access healthcare for well and sick visits, immunizations, lab services, and more FOR FREE. There are also prescriptions available through this clinic for free. Employees can also access quick, convenient, and free healthcare in the comfort of their homes 24/7 through our telemedicine partner.

Employees also receive life insurance and short-term disability at no cost, although they have the option to purchase increased coverage through payroll deductions. We also offer long term disability, various Aflac plans, and a 401k plan with matching.

Work/life balance is important to us and so our employees receive paid time off from day one, including 80 hours of vacation time (prorated based on the start date for the first year) and 40 hours of personal time. After the first full year of employment, eight additional hours of vacation are granted annually.

Certain positions within A.M. Leonard are eligible for flexible scheduling upon the completion of the training period, meaning that the employee and their supervisor can choose an eight-hour schedule between 7:30 am and 5:30 pm.

Employees also enjoy the use of our free onsite gym and product discounts on our wide selection of horticultural tools and equipment.

A.M. Leonard is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
