Horticulturists are trained to know just about everything about plants, from ferns to flowers, tomato plants to trees, whether for food or for ornamentation. They are trained to grow, analyze, treat and maintain the plants used in gardens and parks in the name of aesthetic beauty and environmental health. In addition, they have the skills to micro-manage the landscapes designed by architects for homeowners, hotels, resorts and parks. They can also harness their knowledge to advise pharmaceutical companies and labs in developing herbicides
