Horticulture

Horticulture jobs on Australian farms can involve food processing, farming, irrigation, agronomy, and more. Depending on the requirements of your employer, your day may consist of working on an irrigation or bore system to make sure crops are getting the right amount of water, sorting seedlings, harvesting the crop, or pruning trees. If you’re a bit less of a greenthumb, horticultural work can also involve the operation of machines like tractors and harvestors with different kinds of towing attachments, depending on the job at hand. Some horticultural jobs require a university degree, but many horticulturalists learn their trade through on-the-job training. Horticulturalists typically work regular hours, although they may need to work overtime during busy periods. The horticultural industry offers a variety of job opportunities, and some horticulturalists may choose to specialise in a particular area, such as fruit or vegetable production, or nursery management. Others may choose to work in a generalist role, providing a variety of horticultural services.
