I studied the RHS Master of Horticulture, the degree placed so much emphasis on sustainable horticulture and agriculture not just locally but nationally and globally too, I'm hoping that this kind of emphasis begins to transition from education to public relations too, a little more forcibly at least anyway. The RHS place a hell of a lot of financial resources into sustainable research. I don't think that's really communicated very well though 😧
RHS is such a great think for gardeners in the UK. I wish I had something like RHS in central Europe. Gardening here is just not even close to the level of UK.
I am looking into studying horticulture and I worked at a park for two years. Haha it can be more than grass. Lmao We designed and worked with a number of different types of flowers and grasses. We are by the water, so we tried to keep it functional with the wildlife and the coastal area. So the grasses we chose were decorative (in addition to the normal green grass which wasn't part of our work.) I think the park and its maintenance can depend more on the city's budget.
Thank you for this video! I've just started studying Horticulture in a very small program in the US. It's great to hear from students in a similar degree since there are not many here.😊
Hello! How nice you did the video! It has been a very helpful insight into your studies. Especially appreciated the sites you have listed. I have graduated from the Agricultural University of Athens with a degree in plant production and now work in a nursery/ gardening shop. My job combines a lot of the different occupations you have mentioned and that allows me to have a bigger varition in what I come in contact with. Gaining experience and staying on top of your field I have found to be the absolute must haves to be able to become successful. Exactly because, as you mentioned, a lot of people can "do gardening" there can be a lot of competition, so fixing a good name for u is key. Good luck with your studies!
@@V-vinifera I am nearing the end of the first year of the same course as Johanna and it's only been just about doable because I'm quite good at time management (although I do procrastinated quite a lot so if you don't procrastinate too much that's a good start). I also recommend some prior knowledge of plant science to not get bogged down on the absolute basics of plant physiology (for example). I believe the amount of practical work disappears in the second year as well
I met a girl who worked in the Las Vegas casinos doing atmosphere plants throughout. The clothing she found in the plant beds were always funny! Malls would be another one.
The cons you listed, other than the content thing, might be exclusive to the school themselves, but either way if I end up going there it just sounds as chaotic as my highschool haha. Also sustainable horticulture is kind of its own thing, usually under ecological sciences or sustainable science (usually its not dedicated to plants and involve marine/geology/humans). I think you can minor with it
Does the UK differentiate between Horticulture and Agronomy for degrees? I'm in school in the US studying Agronomy (we only focus on crops), while Horticulture is all other plants. We also differentiate Soil Science, Forestry, Entomology, and other degrees. Very interesting to hear about your experience! Thanks!
I was very into plants when I was younger but unfortunately I let my passion for horticulture take a backseat in my late teens- early 20s. I've rekindled my passion but I wish I'd never left it. Keep up the good work and never let your fire die out!
i will be studying horticulture at my college here in the states. I am from Oklahoma USA. my end goal is to be a Head Grower at a marijuana nursery/ eventually have my own business researching and growing weed for medicinal use.
Hehe it's great to know horticulture is studied world wide too 😂 I thought India only had this course (dumb ik) I'm 2nd year and finally getting hang of this course.
I have applied at a Uni to study Horticulture because I love nature and I believe it would be a great way to show my appreciation for it. However, in your courses, have you studied Horticultural Landscaping? That seems the most probable route for my future.
It's just something that I have to go to school for or can I do this on a computer I was thinking about taking some classes maybe get a degree but I have a main job so I won't be able to go to school do you or anyone have any recommendations thank you all
you'd be better off doing a practical placement if you want to be a horticulturalist - there are shorter trainings but if you're looking to change into horticulture as a career probs getting as much practical experience + a diploma (e.g. from the RHS) is a pretty good start :) definitely not a computer thing
lol my course was also not amazing but at least I now know a lot about plants (& it sparked my love for gardening) hope you still are able to enjoy the plant world and horticulture after
No, I bitterly resent the horticultural industry and moved into a completely different field, wouldn’t recommend a horticultural college education at all
@@zaharausmaan7386 badly resourced, badly managed, less and less job opportunities in fresh produce and nurseries due to horticulture as an industry being royally shafted due to Brexit, you name it pal, horticulture in the UK is doomed

I'm an Agriculture student who's in love with Horticulture subject
Stick with agriculture
That boy has a fancy plant on his head lol.
Can you learn about medicinal plants in horticulture? Like are you able to grow and harvest medicinal plants with this degree?
Thank you so much
The course is all about time management basically! If you manage your work load you can *just about* have a few hours of fun at the same time😬
So you are studying Horticulture in Edinburgh? I guess it's not for me then, as I'm not very good at time management 😂

Such a great video! I think i definitely want to go into horticulture when i’m older

Great video! I’m going into a 2 year program next year🌱
How are you liking it so far!?
Horticulture is improving plant growth and development
I think plants are pretty good at that themselves
Hair💂🏻😊

What do you feel are the best and worst aspect of being a horticulturist / Gardner?
Love this video!
