In this episode I speak with Ben French from Yards Landscapes, a landscape design, construction and maintenance business based in Brisbane.
Ben started early in the industry, working at a landscape supply yard while still at school, and then trialled different roles within landscaping to work out which ones he liked best.
Yards was originally solely design and construction, but maintenance gradually took over and is now the majority of the business.
Ben and a few of his team were in Melbourne recently helping Peter Donegan build his 2024 MIFGS garden, so we discussed what that experience was like, and Ben also talks about the benefits of working for successful people and how much can be learnt from them, regardless of what industry they're in.
