Horticulture & Environment

Can being the “outdoorsy type” count as a professional asset?

A career in horticulture and environment presents you with the rarely-offered chance to do what you love and love what you do. No matter which path you choose within the study area, “the daily grind” is a concept that may very well remain foreign to you.

In fact, you might find that the hardest part about a career in the industry is finding which niche perfectly suits you. And that’s only because the options are so varied - from landscaper to park ranger, plant grower to field researcher, environmental officer to vineyard manager.
