The Landscaping Podcast

In this episode I speak with Landscaping Victoria CEO Ritchie Hinton.

Ritchie has been in the role for 2-3 years and it's clear from this chat that he's a great person to have in the role, based off of his previous experience and knowledge.

He has a great message about appreciating what he learnt in some of his previous employment roles even though he wasn't enjoying them.

He also shares plenty of behind the scenes information about what goes on at Landscaping Victoria, as well as what's coming up at MIFGS.

In this episode, brought to you by The Landscaping School(!), I speak with Josh Meaden from Joshua Tree Outdoor Construction, a landscape construction company based in Melbourne.

Josh is a true construction artist and it was awesome to hear his story about how he wanted to leave school, his parents suggested he stay, and then he discovered a horticulture class, loved working with his hands and ended up getting a landscaping apprenticeship years later.

He also has a great attitude towards his learning experiences in the early days and is building his own shed house using mainly recycled materials, and it's looking amazing!
