By Teresa McPherson
You grew up in the industry, as your family started
" Utah's First Family Nursery " - how do we
encourage the next generation to be interested in
horticulture as a career?
One way to encourage the next generation is to get
them involved in growing or gardening at a young age -
especially with a family member or mentor that can build
memories that last a lifetime. I know everyone in our family
talks about when they worked with our grandpa either at
the nursery or in the garden. The favorite stories to tell are
about Grandpa pushing us to work hard and pay attention
no matter the task, which at the time was difficult but led
to better work ethic later in life.
As for the industry, I think getting the next generation
to realize they can actually have a successful career and
make a good living in horticulture. Possibly by having the
younger generation that is already working in horticulture
share their jobs and what they like about it through
whatever social media is popular for their peers. This would
give people a realistic vision of how rewarding a career in
horticulture can be.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
I would say the most rewarding part of my job is
brainstorming new ideas or improvements for the nursery
with the managers or department
heads and putting them into action.
Having the ability to be flexible and
make changes as our business evolves
is something I really enjoy.
What keeps you up at night?
Making sure that I have the right plans in place for what
is happening the next day or week, whether it's having
enough crew for incoming trucks, loading customers or
covering for frost.
What would you be doing if you weren't in the
horticulture industry?
Working in the skiing and outdoor industry.
What's something that few people know about you?
I've traveled to over 45 countries.
Favorite plant to grow? Why?
For my house, peonies and for work, roses. I like peonies
because they don't require much care and look great, which
is nice during the spring. Roses can be a little difficult to
keep up on, but when they're finished and ready to sell not
much looks better.
