Careers in Horticulture

Year 8 students have been learning about reproduction in plants, learning the structure of flowers, different methods of pollination, fertilization, fruit formation and seed dispersal. They have also become aware of how an understanding of reproduction in plants is a vital for agriculture and horticulture. They have also looked at how plant breeders can use selective breeding to improve crop yields and develop new varieties of flowers, fruit and vegetables.

The girls have researched a variety of careers in horticulture to understand how the topics learnt in science are linked to everyday life and career progression.
