Our final ten have been chosen for the YPHA Launch Success Challenge! Meet Olivia Blackburn whose current role in horticulture is as an office and stock process manager. We asked her a few questions to get to know her a little better: 🌿What’s your favourite thing about being a YPHA member? I've met so many other young, enthusiastic horticulturists who share knowledge and uplift one another. 🌿Tell us something interesting about you outside of horticulture: Before I ventured into horticulture, I did a BA in History focusing on Victorian satire. 🌿And something interesting within horticulture? I found out very shortly before working for a Christmas Tree grower, that I am very mildly allergic to them! Gloves are my best friend at Christmas! 🌿If you were a plant, what would you be? Lavender 'Exceptional'. It's one of a kind, friendly to bees and butterflies, and perfectly at home in an English country garden. Ten delegates have been chosen to take part in YPHA's brand new accelerator programme, designed to prioritise and progress many of the skills that horticulture relies upon but often fails to nurture. Our lucky ten will be split into two teams, and will compete to bring to market a brand new, currently unnamed variety of begonia; culminating in an official launch at Gardeners' World Live 2025. With thanks to the generous support from our panel of sponsors, particularly Launch Success’ Headline Partner, Peter Moore. #ypha #launchsuccesschallenge #horticulture #careersinhorticulture #launchsuccess #business #YPHALSC #programme #careers #upskill #learn #marketing #photography #presentation #pitching #plants #nature #environment #newproductdevelopment #NPD #commercial #education #youngpeople

🚨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

How to Becoming a professional in hydroponics for vegetable production involves gaining a deep understanding of plant biology, the principles of hydroponics, and the practical aspects of setting up and maintaining a hydroponic system. Here are some steps you can take to become a professional in this field: **1. Education:** This might involve obtaining a degree in a related field such as Horticulture, Botany, or Agricultural Science. Some institutions offer specialized courses in Hydroponics. **2. Hands-On Experience:** Practical experience is crucial. This can be gained through internships, working in a greenhouse or garden center, or setting up your own hydroponic system at home. **3. Certification and Training Programs:** Various institutions offer certification programs in hydroponics that can enhance your credibility as a professional. For example, the University of Arizona Controlled Environment Agriculture Center offers a Hydroponic Greenhouse Tomato Intensive Workshop. **4. Stay Updated:** Hydroponics is a rapidly evolving field, with new techniques and technologies being developed regularly. Joining professional organizations, attending seminars and conferences, and subscribing to relevant publications can help you keep up to date. **5. Develop Business and Marketing Skills:** If you plan to start your own hydroponics business, you'll also need to understand the basics of business management and marketing. This might involve taking additional courses or gaining practical experience. Remember that becoming a professional in any field is a journey that involves continuous learning and adaptation. The steps above can provide a solid foundation, but the most important thing is to be passionate about what you're doing and willing to put in the time and effort to continue expanding your knowledge and skills. #Hydroponics #Techniques #Professional #Sulimanali Dr.Suliman Ali

#digitalbhem Hello everyone, task completion: Iris flower classification Welcome to an inspiring journey into the world of iris flower classification at Digital Bhem internship task ✨ Grasping Iris Flower Classification: The process of classifying iris flowers involves training machines to distinguish between different species based on features like sepal length, sepal width, petal length, and petal width. This task is crucial in fields such as botany, horticulture, and ecological research. 🔍 Significance of Iris Flower Classification: Species Identification: Provides accurate identification and classification of various iris species, supporting researchers and botanists in their studies. Biodiversity Conservation: Aids in monitoring and conservation efforts by offering insights into the distribution and abundance of iris species. Horticulture and Gardening: Helps gardeners and horticulturists in choosing suitable species for cultivation and landscaping. 🛠️ Essential Techniques and Technologies: Machine Learning Algorithms: Utilizing algorithms such as Decision Trees, Random Forests, and Support Vector Machines (SVM) to classify iris flowers based on their characteristics. Feature Extraction: Identifying and extracting relevant features from iris flower images or measurements to input into machine learning models. Model Evaluation: Evaluating the performance of classification models using metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall. 📊 Practical Applications: Botanical Research: Automating species identification and classification in botanical research initiatives. Conservation Biology: Tracking changes in iris populations to guide conservation strategies. Commercial Horticulture: Helping nurseries and flower growers in selecting and breeding iris varieties for commercial purposes. 🌱 Harnessing AI in Botany: Iris flower classification showcases the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in botanical sciences. By leveraging AI capabilities, we can enhance our understanding of floral diversity, contribute to conservation efforts, and appreciate the stunning beauty of iris flowers.

🍃 "Turning Over a New Leaf in Horticulture Education" 🍃 Have you ever considered how the theoretical knowledge gained in classrooms intertwines with practical experience in the field of horticulture? Throughout my journey in Horticulture, I've encountered this fusion firsthand. What sets floriculture apart is not just the beauty of flowers, but how they reflect the latest trends in sustainable farming, urban landscaping, and ecological conservation. Here's what I've learned: Theory vs. Practice: While theory gives us the foundational knowledge, applying these concepts in real-world scenarios like landscape design or flower cultivation breathes life into our learning. Innovation in Action: Whether it’s the use of technology in greenhouse management or exploring eco-friendly pest control methods, the field is ripe with innovation. The question remains, how can educational institutions bridge the gap more effectively between theory and practice for budding horticulturists? I'd love to hear your thoughts or experiences on this! #Horticulture #Education #SustainableFarming #Innovation

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

"We hope to be able to enter our animals into the system in the future." Kimara Goethals has been working at the Agriculture and Horticulture School in Oedelem for 10 years, first as a science teacher and now as the director for the past three years. Kimara aims to map all the trees, plants, and flowers in the school garden more clearly via Plantsoon. They plan to open the garden to parents and the wider public. "I dream of a system where students can use QR codes to access detailed information about each plant or tree, instantly learning about its location preferences, such as sun or shade, soil choice, and grouping with other species."
