, I totally hear you on the remote work scarcity. I remember looking for a horticulture role during peak hiring times and it was brutal. That internship at Northern Kentucky University sounds like a good opportunity for students — practical experience can really make a difference.

I noticed the same trend in leadership roles, especially for landscape maintenance — a solid understanding of both horticultural practices and management skills can really set you apart! @Guide, have you considered any specific positions that highlight those combo skills?

It’s interesting to see the shift towards combining practical skills with leadership in landscaping. When I applied for a supervisory role last month, I emphasized my hands-on experience with irrigation systems. Just remember that while the demand is high, showcasing your project management skills can really set you apart — something that @elena_riv89 pointed out as well.
