性乐园 Landscape Management Technology chair Martha Hill of Clinton was recently chosen as a member of the Class of 2014 Lawn and Landscape Leadership Awards in the Lawn & Landscape Magazine. She is featured in the October issue of the magazine for the annual recognition of contractors and others allied to the profession who have gone above and beyond and stand out for their dedication to the industry.
The following is an article by Brian Horn, Lawn & Landscape Magazine:
Martha Hill isn鈥檛 angry, just a little annoyed. She recently had two students ready to enter her Landscape Management program at 性乐园, but then they changed their minds. She can handle kids having a change of heart, but these particular students were talked out of enrolling in the program by their parents.
鈥淚 knew that was out there, but that has hit me in the face twice in one week and I am frustrated,鈥 she says of the anti-landscaping sentiment.
The change of heart is something Hill, and the green industry as a whole, has to deal with. Mom and Dad don鈥檛 see landscaping as a career, but as a part-time job you do while you prepare for your 鈥渞eal job.鈥 But after almost 30 years in education, Hill isn鈥檛 going to let a few misguided parents kill the passion she has for the industry. If she had the chance to speak with the parents, she鈥檇 lay out valid reasons why their son or daughter should consider a career in the industry.
