From irrigating, planting, designing to building landscapes and hardscapes, women are reaping the rewards of their passion in the trade. While it is no longer as male-dominated as before, women have come a long way in the green industry.
"Philippines is an agricultural country," our Senior Horticulturist, Runa
, shared. With 47% of prime land dedicated to growing food crop and other natural landscapes, she took her nation's pride and knowledge over to live and work here in Singapore, another green city. When asked what their favorite part of the landscaping industry is, there was a resounding appreciation for being outdoors and with living nature. The satisfaction of turning designs into reality, implementing their creativity and keeping clients happy is "soul-filling", said Jacqueline, Executive Director of LS1.
The main piece of advice offered is simply to "go for it."
"Don't be intimidated because I think women have proven that they can do this, and we make our mark as well," Runa says. "There's no obstruction at all," in response to encouraging women joining the trade by Kate, our Senior Landscape Designer. The industry allows for job diversity, and can adapt to you as you grow, as long as you remember to keep an open-mind for learning.
So to all the mothers, daughters, sisters and wives around us, today we celebrate you. Happy International Women's Day!
