Cara Waddington: nursery hand and horticulturalist
Age: 23
Employer: Plant Mart Garden Centre
Job description: Plant buyer and nursery maintenance
Qualifications: Associate Diploma Applied Science/Horticulture (Nursery Management)
Best thing about the job: Working with plants all day!
Worst thing about the job: Working outside in rain and winter.
Strangest thing you've had to do: Chasing rabbits around with rakes during a plague.
When you were at school, did you plan to do this type of work?
Yes, but not originally in a nursery. I wanted to study at university but didn't get enough marks. Instead, I studied at TAFE part-time and started working in a retail nursery.
