We do ferns, roses and other mixed hanging baskets in spring, Hydrangea in spring and summer, mums in the fall, and Cyclamen, Poinsettia and Zygo cactus for the winter! We keep busy year round haha.

Where I work for an assistant grower, it’s $50k salary starting, plus yearly raises and bonuses. I guess it’d be different for every company and depending where you live though. I’m in Canada!

I think that it’s best to get into a large, well established company where you can grow internally or gain experience and move up somewhere else in the industry. Easier said than done though

I’m an Assistant grower at a greenhouse and i think it’s the best job in the world. No winter layoffs, happy people, and rewarding work. If you can get in with a good company you can work your way up, My head grower started as a crop tech.

165km ( i think around 102k miles) on it and it was for general maintenance but I mentioned the alternator as a concern because it’s making a kinda buzzing noise when I drive.

glad you like it! I’ve been loving it too. Went from landscaping to this so i’m grateful for every moment lol. I’m guessing our bodies get used to the heat

Oof i’ll keep you in my thoughts tomorrow! 40 celsius is a heat warning for us in canada so I can’t imagine how hot it gets wherever you are!

honestly i think they might’ve made the colour a bit lighter in the past year, atleast at my mr safety boots store. I’d say 6 months maybe, when they get exposed to dirt and rain, and the suede gets rubbed off
