Horticulture

The horticulture industry embraces everything that involves growing plants; from gardening and landscaping to vegetable and fruit production.

In the past, horticulturists were trained and often experienced in a wide range of industry sectors; but over recent decades, they have increasingly become specialists. This, like many industries has seen great change in recent decades; and is likely to continue to change in perhaps unpredictable ways.

The best way to guarantee long term career success may be to ensure your initial training is broad based, and you have the capacity to move with relative ease from one industry sector to another as demand shifts.

Nurserymen for example, who are also competent at landscape design and tree care, may find they can move to something else far easier when an extended drought comes along and plant sales decrease dramatically.
