Kiera’s Many Jobs Early Season 2023 (Student Series)
Professor DeBacco
Students Progressing to Employee’s
Kiera has worked her way up to being an employee at SweetHeal.
She discusses the importance of being versatile and flexible since different times of the year require different tasks to be completed.
Some involves working directly with the plants, but she also has some additional tasks that are all important to make the entire system functional.
Nursery House (Main Job)
Taking Clones
Getting plants established
Scouting for pests
Being proactive in defenses against pests
Daily plant care
Not All Jobs Are Flashy…
Labeling is very important
This is a critical form of documentation
Customer Connection: Marketing
Unfortunately, most customers do not get to see the actual plants, it is the plant products that get the most “eye’s”
So, ensuring your products are well presented is important.
This is critical to keep the business going and this is something that needs continual attention.
This makes for a great “indoor” job
Potting Up Plants
It may seem repetitive, but there is a lot of preparations, checking and double checking on equipment.
While the planting process is routine, the volume and high standards makes this an all hands on deck job.
