Leadership is lacking - Former Full Time Employee Houston Botanic Garden Employee Review

Big environment. Great staff! I get to enjoy the evening experience.

Not a con, but it is a garden so you will be outside.

Lots of potential for growth. Displays range from ornamental to native and give many young aspiring horticulturists the opportunity to learn, grow, and implement science. Great co-workers and new-ish management that is setting the nonprofit on a good trajectory.

Like most horticulture or conservation related jobs, the board lacks understanding of what it realistically takes to build and maintain gardens. It’s getting better…. But you certainly have to be resourceful if you are actual boots on the ground.
