🚨Career change alert! Many stay in the same way in their entire career, and some break free. I help others become a better version of themselves. A former IBM mathematician pivoted upon taking a course to satisfy your curiosity to learn more about garden cultivation. The experience changed the trajectory of her career, and the light bulb went off. 🙌 Working with her hands was buried deep inside. In the second chapter, she's a horticulturist. 👩🏫The bonus is that she is also an adjunct professor and at a state school for those pursuing a career track in plants and horticulture. She gets to work with her hands while teaching others. #careerchange #careerpivot #careersuccess #careercoach

🌱 In honor of #WomenInHorticultureWeek, let's meet some of the talented ladies in our landscape management division! ✨ Megan Hipsman✨ is an Area Manager in State College, PA with over 15 years of industry experience. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿? What I love about working in the field of horticulture is the satisfaction of looking at the finished product. The impact of the before and after on projects is so rewarding to me. My advice to young women in the industry is to know your value. We almost have to try harder to be seen, and most of us probably feel the need to prove ourselves. There are so many opportunities if you're willing to nurture, be creative, and work hard. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆? I don't think I can pick a favorite plant or flower. Right now, I have started some dinner plate dahlias at home and I'm so excited to have the cut flowers later in the season! I love plants that have a dual purpose, especially when it comes to cut flowers. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀/𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀/𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆? My favorite piece of horticultural advice pertains to watering. I always say, "only water when the soil is dry." #LandscapingCareers #Horticulture #HorticultureCareers #GreenIndustry

Hometown: Rising Sun, MD Thesis: A Way to Greener Gardening: The Eco-consciousness of the Horticulture Industry Most Exciting Part of your Thesis Experience: The most exciting part of my thesis experience was getting to pick a topic I was really interested in and being able to research and learn more about something I am very passionate about.

Favorite Course Taken: Restoration Ecology with Dr. Bible. I really like learning about habitat restoration and the careers I could have in this field. Advice for Current Students: Keep on top of your work but make time for yourself too! You need to have breaks to be able to do your best work. Favorite Place on Campus: The SG meadow.

In today's ever changing landscape, you need to plant the seeds for learning to grow the beautiful garden you envision. The garden is your career development plan. The seeds are the knowledge and skills you need to make your garden come to life. Now it is time to get to work. By preparing the ground. Planting the seed. Watering it. Fertilizing it. Weeding it. Pruning it. Over and over again. It takes time, effort, consistency, and dedication to achieve a garden you will enjoy, and other people will benefit from. If not, it will wither and die. #InvestInYourself #Careerplanning #careerdevelopment #growth #learninganddevelopment

Lecturer in Greenhouse Production/Cultivation Techniques at Häme University of Applied Sciences / Independent Consultant in Horticulture
Three different study modules ended this week, to which I have had teaching. Now before Christmas holiday season I have pretty much of different exams and project works to evaluate, which I like, but it takes quite a lot of time. In these three different study modules we had these topics: 1. For the first-year students I taught growth factors: about light, temperature, relative humidity, CO2 and how to control growth and flowering with these factors. These factors are important to understand why and what we should control in the greenhouses or other closed systems. Sometimes some factors might be forgotten. These issues cannot be fixed in any other way than correcting the circumstances favourable to plant growth. Something to understand is that all these factors also affect to each other more or less, so if any of the factors will change, all the others should be re-evaluated also. 2. The module for the second-year students included quite a big project work, a development plan for a real company. The students could choose the company from an open-field enterprise or a greenhouse. In this project I worked as an instructor for the students. These first two study modules were for our future Professional Horticulturists. 3. Third module or study course was for the first-year Landscape Design and Construction students. This study course was quite independent. It has been built so that the students can learn independently about growing plants in different circumstances: open, limited, and closed systems. Also, they learn, how different growth factors affect to the growth in different systems. This autumn period has meant a lot of work for me, and I have learned a lot. Also, I have a lot of plans how to improve my teaching for next year. Now I haven’t had the time to do a lot of changes for the methods, although I have made all the materials myself. What do you think about the photo from couple of years ago: how will the strawberries and raspberries be affected from the mist in the greenhouse? #HAMK #lecturer #horticulture #lecturerofhorticulture #growthfactors #maailmanparastajat #thebettermakers #teaching #strawberries #greenhouse #verticalfarming

I’d love to know, what kind of roles/people is horticulture industry missing? Is there a particular strand of work that needs more people? Do we need more gardeners do we need anything else? From time to time, we see that schools need more Maths teachers or more English in certain years - but what about horticulture? What are we missing at the moment? Feel free to share
