Drake's 7 Dees Landscaping

If you're in the Portland area, you've no doubt heard about or visited Drake's 7 Dees Landscaping. As part of our "Hard Hat Tour" corporate education efforts, Drake spent some time sharing about how he got into landscape design and running a plant nursery and shares about how young people can also get involved, whether in a part-time role during school or as a full fledged career option. We plan to take mentees to the site later this year, but for now enjoy this interview between Al Nodarse and Drake Snodgrass https://lnkd.in/gtMHnH5F
