Plants Grow Here - Horticulture, Landscape Gardening & Ecology Daniel Fuller

In ep.172 I talked about ten career pathways in amenity horticulture. It was a quick run through some of the most important jobs in our industry, and pathways you can take throughout each sector.

In this episode, I dig into these pathways in a bit more detail with the help of Growing Joy's podcast host Maria Failla. As an indoor plant enthusiast and hort media professional, she was able to walk me through some of the nuance that may be lost if you're new to this industry.

Whether you're a gardening enthusiast who's open to a career change, you're a hort student unsure of the end destination, or you're an established pro looking to deepen your understanding of the industry as a whole, don't miss this episode because you'll learn:

-What the difference is between jobs in propagation, wholesale and production nurseries,
-What the difference is between landscape architects and landscape designers,
-How to get into horticulture media,
-And much, much more...

If you can't classify and name plants, how can you successfully work as a horticulturist?

You probably don't need to know the exact scientific name for every plant you work with, but a basic understanding of how plant taxonomy works is a must for any serious gardener. In this episode, you'll learn how to name plants, how plant families work, and what on earth plant taxonomy and binomial nomenclature are.

John Mason is my guest this week, and he's the creator of ACS Distance Education and a founding and current board member for the Australian Garden Council. He's passionate about taxonomy because it's so often not taught at a trade level for many formal qualifications.

Whether you just need a refresher, or you need an intro to this fundamental part of horticulture and botany, this episode will help you upskill as a horticulturist.
