Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to the wide range of horticultural and client service skills used in interacting with clients to meet their needs and recommend a solution to a plant or plant cultural issue. This standard involves working within routines, methods and procedures where some discretion and judgement is required.
This unit covers the process of providing information to clients and others about plants and their cultural requirements and defines the standard required to: confirm client brief and request for information; consider the growing environment (soil, climate and aspect, pests and diseases, and weed competition); develop product knowledge through in-house and online sources; incorporate client aims and preferences into developing options for plantings; determine the optimal solution for the client needs; provide recommendations on plants, plantings and/or plant treatments, with supporting information to the client.
