Amenity Horticulture

Amenity Horticulture is one of Australia's fastest-growing industries and is closely linked to urban development and lifestyle. It includes:

.  designing, establishing and maintaining parks & gardens, sporting grounds & golf courses and landscapes; 

.  arboriculture (tree care); and

.  wholesale & retail plant nurseries. 

​

Knowledge and skills in plant biology, soil management, fertilizer usage, weed & pest control, irrigation methods and chemical handling are generally required. Biosecurity and water management are important issues driving changes in the sector. 

​

Note: Production horticulture (eg producing fruit and vegetables) is covered under Rural Production.
