Landscape Design and Horticulture

Introduction

Professional horticulturists and landscape architects are the hardworking and creative people who draw and then execute plans for public parks, green spaces, businesses and private residences. These professionals are experts in all forms of local plant life, and they know how to cultivate outdoor and indoor plants that contribute to the beauty and functionality of gardens, lawns and grounds.

If youﾒre looking for work in landscape design, youﾒll need a bachelorﾒs degree, a license to practice (more on that later), and a strong resume.

As you create your resume, youﾒll have two options: you can get help from sophisticated resume creation tools and templates like those available through LiveCareer, or you can create your resume from the ground up on your own.

If you choose the second option, youﾒll take responsibility for your own wording and formatting decisions, but you wonﾒt be alone. This collection of horticulture and landscape design resumes can guide you through the process and so can the information below.
