Answer Example
"My dad taught me how to mow the lawn and trim trees and bushes in our yard growing up. I started spending time with him in the garden as I got older and he taught me about how to grow tomatoes and green beans. We also had geraniums, lemon trees, and a herb garden. I still love learning about how to care for plants, and I'm excited about the opportunity to learn more when I work for your nursery!"
