A few weeks ago, I collaborated with another program called Seed Your Future. This program aims to promote horticulture jobs (and overall awareness) to elementary students, all the way to the university level. They strive to share knowledge about careers working with plants and what all the industry has to offer. 

Before working here at Details, I was far from aware of what opportunities were possible in the horticulture and floriculture industry. From marketing to sales, to social media, and more, there is SO much more to be talked about, that students are so unfamiliar with. 

As I talked about in a previous blog post, I spent that week preparing content, interviewing staff members, creating videos, etc. for their social media takeover. Since that week, I have kept close in contact with the head of their executive director, Jazmin. 

I have now committed to work alongside them and have virtual conversations with Jazmin weekly. We here at Details, are in full support of spreading awareness regarding the horticulture industry and my boss is also in full support of me working on small projects with them. In the fall, Sedd Your Future will be hosting a virtual career fair, and ended up registering me to go to one as a “student” to take notes, log my experiences, and give overall feedback for the career fair they plan on hosting in the future. 

I have enjoyed having more long-term projects and especially making and maintaining connections in the industry with those outside of my current company. Especially with Seed Your Future, I hope to help continue promoting as my role goes on.
