abstract
Despite being perceived as a profession with less labor, gardening involves a variety of duties that change in frequency and physical difficulty depending on the season. The purpose of this study was to investigate how gardeners in an institutional setting divide up their workloads. A systematic interview schedule was used to gather information from a sample of 20 gardeners about the kind, frequency, and seasonal change of duties. The findings showed that regular operations like weeding, watering, pruning, and transplanting were carried out, with planting and maintenance seasons seeing the highest workloads. In order to guarantee sustainable working conditions for gardeners, this baseline study emphasized the necessity of more thorough ergonomic assessments.
