Do you ever wonder exactly how plants live and grow? Have you ever taken a flower apart to see what was inside it? If so, maybe someday you’ll want to work with plants.
Botanists study plants. They look at the features of plants and where and how plants grow. Botanists may study plants in their natural environment, such as in the water, or in the desert, or they may work in a laboratory.
Chemists often study ways to make new products from plants. They are the people who have invented things like cellophane, a clear, smooth wrapping for food. Margarine face creams, and many other useful products also are made from plants.
Agronomists are scientists who help farmers raise food to feed people around the world. They discover ways to make plants grow larger and healthier. They study the soil to help it grow more things. They find new ways of controlling weeds.
Gardeners, landscape gardeners, and other workers plant and care for the flowers and trees you see in parks, zoos, wildlife reserves, and gardens. Gardeners and landscapers also work for towns and cities. They plant and care for the trees, bushes, and beds of flowers along streets and around many public buildings. Some gardeners grow plants and bulbs for sale. People buy them for their own homes and gardens.
A florist is a gardener and an artist combined. Florists sell plants and flowers. They also make the beautiful bouquets you see on special occasions.
Photographers and artists can work with plants, too. Pictures of plants are often used in magazines, calendars, and books. And specially trained artists can paint pictures of plants that look as real as photographs
