Meet Pedro Trigueros! Sunridge Nurseries' very first intern. 

This year, Sunridge launched an exciting opportunity for students and recent graduates to gain hands-on experience in a commercial nursery environment through our summer Horticulture Internship program. This initiative was designed to provide comprehensive knowledge of all stages of plant growth, emphasizing essential aspects such as nutrient management, lighting, and pest control, all vital for cultivating thriving plants.

Under the expert mentorship of Horticulturist and Agronomist, Linsi Luckett, the program offered Pedro the chance to engage in a variety of responsibilities and enrich his learning experience by mastering irrigation techniques, assisting with plant applications, monitoring plant growth, and engaging in essential testing procedures, just to name a few.

“Pedro has been an exceptional asset and is rapidly becoming an integral member of our Horticulture and Agronomy team,” stated Linsi Luckett. We are pleased to announce that his journey through the program culminated in an exciting milestone where Pedro has since accepted a permanent role as our Assistant Agronomist.

Pedro says, "I’m incredibly appreciative for the opportunity to build on what I've learned during my internship while taking on new challenges in this role. Sunridge has so many employees with incredible knowledge and years of experience in agriculture, and I feel very fortunate to work and learn alongside such a great group of people. The company’s strong leadership and positive culture make Sunridge an exceptional place to grow both personally and professionally."

Sunridge hopes to expand our internship program offerings in the future, recognizing the invaluable hands-on experience they provide to aspiring industry professionals. For updates on these exciting opportunities, please follow us on LinkedIn and visit our website.
