Scott has been teaching and coordinating horticulture for more than 10 years and believes the industry has a bright future in the Northern Territory.

He previously worked within the horticulture and conservation industries in numerous locations throughout the NT, a place he has made his home after completing his training in Victoria.

Scott said he gained great reward from seeing students share his passion for the industry.

“Rural industries attract a diverse and interesting range of students with classes made up of school students, apprentices, retirees, and those wanting a career change,” he said.
