Horticultural Assistant careers
Horticultural Assistants contribute to the aesthetic and environmental quality of public and private gardens, parks, nurseries, and landscaping projects.
Their duties typically include planting, watering, pruning, and weeding, as well as assisting with pest and disease control under the supervision of horticulturists or gardeners. They may also help prepare soil, propagate plants, and maintain equipment and facilities.
This role often involves working outdoors in various weather conditions and requires a basic understanding of plant species, soil types, and horticultural techniques.
