If you like plants and/or gardening, work at a garden center, plant store, landscaper, or a retail store that has a home/garden area. This will get you experience and more knowledge about plants that are native to your area. If you want to be a farmer, get a job as a farm hand. There's a lot of demand for help, so it shouldn't be too hard to get a job. Also take classes on agriculture and animal care if you want to raise livestock. Check with your state Dept of Agriculture for more information on how to get started. Some states have programs to encourage people to become farmers, so see what your state has to offer.

ONet is a great resource. You can start here https://www.mynextmove.org/
but note that the experience of raising plants or livestock for profit is very different, then gardening in your backyard

Start a blog about the topic. Use your experience and encourage others to share their experience. It could become a resource site and eventually turn into a site where select brands want to place paid advertising.

Look at joining a local landscape company. Maybe get enough experience to then start your own business. If you have small independent farms near you they may also be looking for full time or part time help, especially during farmers' market season. Many people grow their own flowers and then produce custom arrangements and sell them.

There are no doors for farming and gardening jobs, just open the door go outside and post your services by the hour in your local pennysaver newspaper or other local forums. Post some flyers in the local coffee shop as well. Good for you! You grow girl! (pun intended)

If you have greenhouses in your area, apply. I'm sure they all have entry level jobs. Then you can learn on the job and figure out what you like or if you like it.

what are the skills you used at your previous work? I ask because there may be ways to parlay these into the type of work you might be interested in. I may have a few ideas for you if I know more.
