A career in plant breeding with Tim Kerley of Kerley & Co

Horticulture Week Podcast

HortWeek is delighted to present the Cultivate Your Future podcast, in partnership with the Colegrave Seabrook Foundation.

At a time when horticulture needs to encourage a new wave of young people to come into the industry, this podcast is designed to highlight the multiple and varied career opportunities available.

We hear from people who have found their way into their chosen career through different paths, what their job involves and what it means to them.

Every two weeks, for the next two months, we will be releasing two episodes covering a particular job area.

This week we focus on plant breeding and horticulture consultant Neville Stein interviews Tim Kerley, plant breeder at Kerley & Co.

Hear about what the world of plant breeding offers, what the opportunities are and the skillset required. In a world that is facing significant climate change challenges, the need for plants that can adapt to heat, drought and other abiotic stresses has never been more important, and the work of plant breeders is in high demand.
