Ball Horticultural Company

We had our first annual wellness fair today! Wellness Connect 2024 was a day of learning, connection, and FUN! Complete with pop-in workshops, a juice/smoothie bar, an IT "phishing well," an outdoor stretch session, raffles, and so much more... the day was a great success! Thank you to all of our partners and visitors who came in to conduct workshops, provide resources, and talk with our employees one on one!

What does a career in horticulture look like? It looks like all of these and more! It's #GreenCareerWeek, and Seed Your Future has many resources at their website to help increase awareness about green industry careers: https://lnkd.in/g-gpv3eB

A big thank you to all of our employees who volunteered their time to go talk to the students at West Chicago High School for #GreenCareerWeek! Seed Your Future has a mission to promote horticulture and inspire people to pursue careers working with plants, and Green Career Week is the perfect opportunity for your company to join in on this mission. 🌱

Whether you’re working with flowers, ornamental plants or produce, this webinar is for you! Join other industry professionals and Seed Your Future for an exclusive cross-segment discussion with growers, wholesalers and suppliers to discuss how to build a pipeline of labor on a local level. During this one-hour virtual gathering, attendees will receive a brief update on production, logistics and manufacturing trends, followed by a quick economic outlook from Chief Economist Charlie Hall, Ph.D., the Ellison Chair of Floriculture at Texas A&M University. Then, attendees will hear from Seed Your Future Executive Director Jazmin Albarran about the organization’s Green Career Week initiative designed to help industry businesses engage with students. Several Green Career Week participants will share how the program has helped them build relationships with schools and students and offer tips to others about how to get involved. *The Society of American Florists will manage the webinar, but it's open to all horticulture sectors.
