Inspiring Career Day Field Trip With Mariani Landscape
Each summer, our interns look forward to taking a trip out of the city and heading up north for an immersive field trip at Mariani Landscape. This thoughtfully curated field trip centers around career-focused introductions and exposure to the landscape design industry.
The day at Lake Bluff couldn't have been more beautiful with white, puffy clouds for our tour of different careers and departments within the company. From Marketing, Electronics Engineers, Designers, Client Services, Quality Control, HR, Production, and the President of Mariani himself, each team member brought insightful, practical, meaningful advice for our interns. We are so grateful for Mariani’s ongoing support year after year of One For One youth.
