02.01.2022 Here is an interview of young gardener, Luca (19) Q: So what was it that inspired you to pursue gardening as a passion? A: Many reasons actually, I like working outdoors and having a productive interest. I'm also a vegetarian so I spend a lot of time growing my own plants and vegetables.... Q: Is this something you can see yourself persuing as a job in the future? A: Yeah man, I love gardening. It's work that you get more enjoyment and happiness out of than you would a regular office job or something like that. Q: If there are people in highschool that enjoy gardening, but haven't considered it as a job for the future, what would you say to them? A: It's a job really worth considering. As I said before, Its enjoyable because you work outside most of the time, and it's practical and hands on work that I personally enjoy, if you prefer the hands on work then it's a career worth choosing.
