Help Spread the Word! Share Your Voice & Professional Experience
Here’s How You Can Help:
Now is the time for our industry to tell its story - to reshape society’s perception of horticulture careers through real stories told directly from professionals doing the work everyday. The WSNLA careers task force is working with a video production company to develop 3 videos that will take center stage in a social media campaign. But, we need more content to amplify this message and shine a light on the wide array of horticulture careers. That means we need you - here’s how you can help:

Hort Career Video
Capture a short video (:15 to :30 seconds) of you, your staff and colleagues sharing what you love best about your career in horticulture. Next share it with WSNLA to include in our Plant a Career in Horticulture social media campaign.
Or, plan to attend a WSNLA event this year and we will capture a video testimonial for you!
Career Profile Interview
Your story will help shape perceptions and inform individuals interested in entering the field about the broad careers available in horticulture. Take a few minutes to share your career experience and bring awareness to horticulture careers. Career Profiles will be included on the GardenWashington career page..
Connect with Students
Connect directly with students in the classroom by participating on a career panel session. WSNLA will be coordinating various sessions throughout the State for colleges, universities and high school students. Add your name to the list of professionals willing to share their professional experience. (In person and virtual options.)
