Do you enjoy your job?

I do, for the most part, enjoy my job. I enjoy the fact that I am around plants all day. I also spend all my time outdoors and actually work in a nice setting-where I am finally seeing improvements in my teams hard work over a warm, humid Sydney summer. This of course gives me pride in my work, which is brilliant, but also drives me to maintain this and make my lovely workplace even better!

I work with some really decent people too, which is very important. If you work with decent people, you can chat and have a laugh with them and it makes the day go so much quicker than the opposite. I am lucky that I have this too.

My is also one where I am constantly busy and on my feet. While I am always exhausted by the end of the day, I would rather be busy all than quiet and relaxed-business makes the day go so fast that I’m going home before you know it! Being on my feet all day means that I don’t have to do hours and hours in the gym every week as my fitness is already quite high-I do a little swimming and pilates and that’s that!

While there are some days where I do wonder why I work as a horticulturalist, especially on a day like today where we had temperatures up to 37 or 38 degrees Celsius and humid-this makes working outdoors hard to impossible, I really couldn’t imaging having any other sort of job!
