Plants Grow Here - Horticulture, Landscape Gardening & Ecology
Leisure:Home & Garden
When you're watching sport on the telly, do you realise how much passion goes into the grounds?
I'm not talking about the passion from the coaches, the players and the fans. I'm talking about the sportsturf managers who go to extraordinary lengths to ensure the optimal conditions are available on the grounds.
As this episode's guest, TAFE NSW teacher David Little says, great turf is no accident! It requires the knowledge, experience and dedication of seriously talented sportsturf managers like the people he teaches to undertake this highly specialised job.
We've barely scratched the surface of sportsturf careers in ep.158 with Marcus Saddington from GLG, so buckle up for another deep-dive into what it's like to work in this field.
