Chris Mace Discusses A Day in the Life at Gelderman Landscape Services

Chris Mace, VP Landscape Operations, discusses working in landscaping as part of a series of short videos intended to give students a feel for various career paths in the landscape industry.

Landscape Ontario & the Canadian Landscape Nursery Association invited Chris to participate in this initiative to provide information to those considering a career in Landscape and horticulture.

One of the reasons I got into this industry is the impact you leave behind says Chris. You go into a garden, it could be a complete blank canvas. Two, three, four weeks later on you leave and they’ve got a beautiful backyard oasis – you’ve made their dreams come true. And there’s a lot of satisfaction that goes with that too.

Chris has a BA (Hons) and Post Graduate Certificate in Business Management from Leeds Metropolitan University in the UK. He also has a Professional Certificate in Marketing from the Canadian Marketing Association and a Certificate in Landscape Design from Humber College along with certifications from Landscape Ontario. Chris sits on the Board of Directors at Landscape Ontario and is the Chair of the Landscape Designers Commodity Group with Landscape Ontario.
