Quick way to convey intimate knowlege of plant material?

[Deryn Davidson]

I’m trying to briefly list some of my skills and I’m stuck on one. Can anyone suggest a quick, bullet point style, way to covey horticultural knowledge/experience working with plants/good plant ID skills/etc?? Is there something that is used among professionals to get this point across? Something like: “native plant knowledge” or “plant ID”, etc. It’s easy to list things like computer software I’m familiar with, but this is proving to be a bit more wordy and difficult.

Thanks!

If you have horticultural or arborist certification, there’s that; or worked in a nursery…  Some people fresh out of school list “related coursework” to convey some indication of the slant of their curriculum, or to highlight areas of personal interest.  Maybe teaching/TA work related to coursework as bullets?

I think you just said it or nearly so –  ‘horticultural expertise in AZ and desert southwest’ or ‘horticultural specialization in native plants of such and such landscapes’  – something specific like that.

I’ve never been intimate with plant material.  Dad warned me about those types.

I had a feeling at least one person would take it in that direction…

intimate 1 |ˈintəmit|
adjective

3. (of knowledge) detailed; thorough : an intimate knowledge of the software.
