Let’s start out with what most people thing of when you think of a gardener. Where I live in California, I first think of the person who comes and maintains our lawn and trims our trees. I took my family to Disneyland one day and when we arrived we saw all the amazing colors that saturated the grounds at the park. Well someone needed to design and maintain those amazing gardens. Someone needs to make sure insects don’t take over and kill plants that have survived for years. And then it hit us, the term Gardner is just an very basic term but the gardening industry consists of: lawn maintenance, grounds personnel, athletic field grounds keepers, gold courses, cemeteries, parks and so on.

As a gardener you can be responsible for the plants, weeks, pest prevention, replanting or planning. The possibilities are endless and the course we have listed from some of the largest and most recognized schools in the industry will teach you what you need to know in order to be successful.

So what do you need to do next to be successful in this industry? To start we recommend taking a certificate course that will give you the overall training that you need. It will then be up to you take specific courses related to the area you want to specialize in. This could mean you take courses in agriculture, horticulture, and nursery and even turn management. We want you to be employed and we see jobs available at nursery’s as well as even state agencies. These state agencies make sure the lawns and landscaping at all public government buildings look the very best.

If you have the passion for gardening or nursery then why not open up your own garden business and sell plants, flowers, soil, etc. This is something that you love so why not make even more money by working on your own business. Even doing it out of your home is possible as we recently looked up on craigslist and found many that are selling trees and palm trees here in California and when we arrive to pick out our purchase we realize they are operating it out of their backyard and making great cash.

I had never considered this career even though I loved to garden. I had a chance to review one of the books that were being taught and I was blown away with the information that it included. The most amazing thing is I’m actually considering enrolling in a course myself and I already have a fulltime job and I want to learn about it to make my own lawn, backyard and garden better. If you are hobbyists I think you can also benefit from a gardening course.
