I’d like to pursue a career in horticulture, or botany in general, but all of the jobs available to me are growing weed

I’ve noticed a lot of job openings in my area for cannabis farms, but not a lot of other variety. Would that kind of job look bad on a resume? It might be a silly thing to ask, since I’d be growing and taking care of the plants, not smoking it, but I know there’s still a big stigma around weed and I wouldn’t want that being my only professional experience with botany to make moving forward with that career path more difficult. I’m sure it depends, but if anyone has any more information or advice, everything is welcome.

Lightning safety

I work at a botanical garden and we’ve been having conversations about safety in the garden. I’m curious what the protocol is for others when there are thunderstorms in the area on a workday?

Help with Disease

Hi there, I'm new at caring for these. They've been neglected for years, but never exhibited disease like this until I started trying to take better care of them! These bushes always bore at least a little fruit, but last year I decided to fertilize them with slow-release balanced fertilizer and watered them during dry patches. I tried pruning them in early spring because I read that was the smart thing to do. Now the whole patch is showing whatever disease this is. Is this stem blight? I'm horrified that I've ruined them. Any suggestions?

We're moving, and I want to have this plant in our new yard.

I don't know what plant this is, but every spring it flowers with purplish flowers. My kids love it and we've been taking pictures in front of the plant every year when it flowers. I want to take a part of it and grow it in pots for now, so I can plant them in our new yard. How do I do it to get the best results? Thank you so very much!

This flower is AWESOME but I forget the name!

I inherited this one from my mom. She told me the name 100 times and I always forget, but now she’s not here to remind me!

Still one of the things I’m not used to.. especially working in “my” garden which used to be her garden. It’s how I stay connected to her.. but it sucks not being able to pick her brain of over 80 years worth of knowledge.

Safe to eat mint leaves with powdery mildew?

I have a bunch of mint outside, unfortunately a lot of them seem to have powdery mildew. But on some of the individual stems, the top few leaves don’t appear to have any spots on them, are they safe to consume? I plan to boil them with tea (after washing them ofc)

Farmhand job is for self-employed only. Is it worth applying?

A job I'd really like to apply for says it's only for those registered self-employed. I'm not, but I would be willing to do so for the role.

Is there any point in me applying? Also, why would a role at a farm be open to self-employed people only? Is it a tax thing or something?

How to stake a tree?

I have this apple tree in my garden that is progressing leaning over every year with the fruit growing.

I want to stake it back up / support it but the root ball goes almost under the fence.

What would be the best way to support this tree? Or is it too far gone.

What to wear for a Horticulture job interview?

Hello friends,

I am up for a position at my local botanic garden, and I was hoping for your all's opinion on what to wear for that interview.

I know it's beat practice to wear your best for any interview, but seeing as this is an outdoor job, it would make sense to go with more of a business casual.

For background, I am female and wearing a nice blouse for this kind of interview feels all sorts of wrong, I was think more of a polo shirt and nice pants, not jeans.

Thank you!

What kind of dogwood is this

It has a white pith so I really suspect a dogwood. I can only find one flower on the whole plant and it seems to be a little deformed. It looks like there are other flower buds on that same stem but they are closed up. Ciliate hairs on leafs too. Located in north Arkansas

To cut or not to cut?

Good afternoon everyone! Some questions if anyone can help me please.

First of all, what tree is this?

Secondly, is there anything I can do about it growing along the floor, like bringing it back to height with supports or something?

Thirdly, is this tree infected or dying? It might sound stupid, but I can't see any clear signs of rot.

I really like this tree in my garden, I don't want to have to cut it down but over the years the old girl's been slowly sinking to one side. Anyone able to share some advice please?

Many thanks!
