Educators play a pivotal role in inspiring the next generation of nature stewards, environmental innovators, and green-industry professionals. In this interactive session, Seed Your Future will introduce teachers to a rich spectrum of career pathways rooted in horticulture, sustainability, and nature-based industries, and share practical strategies for integrating career exploration into classroom and outdoor learning experiences.

Participants will:

Discover the breadth of nature-based and horticultural careers — from plant science, landscape design, and urban forestry to conservation, ecological restoration, and agricultural technology.

Understand workforce trends and emerging opportunities in the green economy, with real examples of how these fields intersect with environmental education goals.

Access classroom-ready resources, lesson plans, and career exploration tools designed to spark student interest and connect academic content with real-world pathways.

Learn how to build meaningful partnerships with local horticulture businesses, community gardens, arboreta, and environmental organizations to enhance student experiences.

Whether you teach outdoor education, environmental science, ecology, or place-based learning, this session will equip you with actionable ideas and resources to help students see themselves in nature-based careers and support their journeys toward sustainable futures.
