Seed Your Future is the movement to promote horticulture and inspire people to pursue careers working with plants.

The Horticultural Salaries Project is led by Seed Your Future, with initial funding support provided by the American Floral Endowment (AFE)

Welcome to the Horticultural Salaries Project!

Our goal is the alert people to the wealth of job opportunities in horticulture and encourage them to consider horticulture as a career.  As much as we love plants and flowers we need to make a living.  As such, we are conducting a salary survey to provide potential students with high, low and average salaries.  We understand that every business is unique and hope that you will be able to provide information for the majority of positions in your business in the following survey.

The first page of the survey will be used to sort the data and provide meaningful reports. Scroll down for definitions of horticultural industries.  Please be assured that all information submitted will be confidential and only averages of the data will be released. The rest of the survey will ask for wages and salaries.  For large businesses, be sure to have your HR Director complete the survey.

Thank you for your time on behalf of the horticultural industry. The survey can be found Here
