Scot Sepulbeda: A garden curator, quite a new title I think, is an administrator with background in professional administration and management, so at a large garden or centre a business diploma is essential.The day to day life of an administrator will be the same as most other office workers, budgeting, finance,planning,H and S issues, HR issues --that type of stuff.
