What is a horticulturist?

Garden Maintenance - Gold Coast - What is a horticulturist?

The question “What is a horticulturist?” is one that is commonly asked. Well, Horticulturists are university educated and have scientific knowledge on the cultivation and propagation of plants, vegetables and flowers.  They also have knowledge in crop production, plant breeding, plant biochemistry and physiology.

Horticulturists are called upon to plan for fruit or vegetable production, manage nurseries, greenhouses, turf farms, garden centres and to design landscapes.

The work of a horticulturist can involve:

  • Arboriculture
  • Pest and disease control
  • Fertilisation
  • Regeneration activities
  • Plant conservation
  • Preservation of natural resources

Horticulturists, during their intensive training cover areas such as:

  • Arboriculture
  • Turf management
  • Floriculture
  • Landscape horticulture
  • Olericulture
  • Pomology
  • Viticulture
  • Oenology
  • Postharvest physiology

These areas of study can lead to horticulturists choosing to specialise as landscapers, greenskeepers or nurserymen.
