Mariani Profiles: Cheryl N. Position: Front Office Administrator Time at Mariani: 30-some years “I started as the accounting manager, then moved in and started helping Frank. I became his executive assistant. I helped whenever the admin team needed a supervisor, on and off. A couple of years ago, I became the front office administrator and was glad to stay with a company I love.” Describe your job: “It encompasses a lot of different things. I answer the phone, distribute mail and deliveries, and answer a lot of questions for people throughout the company because of what I know. I am old school; if there is a job to be done, you do it.” Favorite thing about your job: “The diversity of things to do. While I might plan to do certain things in a day, things come up, and I do them. I love the flexibility of it all. I don’t just say this; I’ve lived it: this is a unique company. The people we work with and for are top-notch, so that’s fun, too.” Hobbies or interests outside of work: “As a workaholic, I’ve never had a lot of time for things like that, but when I can, I like to go to plays, musicals, and art fairs. I also spend a good deal of time working at my church doing different things there.” What hopes do you have for the future of women in our industry and in leadership roles? “I have seen this industry, not just this company, but it was male-dominated. Now, there are so many women taking part in leadership roles. The future is bright for women and the industry as a whole. It's refreshing to see that much growth over the 30-something years I've been here.” #Marianilandscape #Womenshistorymonth #Internationalwomensday #IWD2025 #accelerateaction #landscapeindustry #womeninlandscape #greenindustry #greenindustryprofessionals

THE CLIENT’S VISION: This lakefront property previously had a pool tucked right up next to the house, with little, if any, outdoor seating space to hang out and enjoy the view. The space was hot and all hardscape. The goal was to create outdoor areas where family and friends could gather. MARIANI’S SOLUTION: ? Relocated the pool away from the house and opened up spaces for entertaining and planting to soften the space ? Introduced several amenities to draw the homeowners outside—an outdoor kitchen, group seating area, a water feature, fire table, and reading nook and reading nook ? Minimized railings that previously obstructed the view ? Created dappled shade through the introduction of large trees #MarianiLandscape #landscapemaintenance #outdoorliving #landscapeindustry #landscapeprofessionals #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture

MARIANI PROFILES: Rosa M. POSITION: Purchasing Assistant TIME AT MARIANI: Almost 4 years WHAT I DO: I review and enter order confirmations for perennials and woody. FAVORITE THING: The people I work with have helped me in many ways both at work and out. WHAT I LOVE: I love spending time with my daughters, making crafts. I have a daughter that is medically complex, so my hobbies right now consist of educating myself more to care for her the best I can. MY THOUGHTS FOR WHM: Advice I would give to young women starting in this industry- I would say it could be one of the best decisions they make, at least for me it was. I have learned so much and continue learning. It has opened whole new interests for me. #Marianilandscape #Womenshistorymonth #Internationalwomensday #IWD2025 #accelerateaction #landscapeindustry #womeninlandscape #greenindustry #greenindustryprofessionals #careersinlandscape #landscapeprofessionals #plantsourcing

Mariani Profiles: Edith C. Position: Maintenance Enhancement Designer Time at Mariani: 4 years Describe your job: My role focuses on designing and managing enhancement projects for our maintenance clients. Proposing creative and functional upgrades. I ensure that each space aligns with the client’s vision and needs. Favorite thing about your job: It’s the perfect blend of creativity, strategy, and nature. Each project presents a new challenge, and I get to bring ideas to life, solve problems, and witness a space transform into something even greater, not just in terms of visual design but also in the deeper meaning it holds for our clients. Hobbies or interests outside of work: I enjoy walking in nature, photography, playing volleyball, and spending quality time with my family and loved ones. I’m also passionate about personal growth and constantly seek to learn. As we celebrate Women’s History Month, who are some women who have inspired you professionally or personally? I deeply admire the women who have paved the way in industries, proving that talent and passion know no gender. On a personal level, my mom and the women in my family have been my greatest inspiration. They taught me resilience and how to move forward with love, honesty, responsibility, and determination. Professionally, I admire women who chase their dreams, overcome obstacles, and keep pushing forward with perseverance, even in the face of fear. What advice would you give to young women entering the workforce or starting in our company? I’d encourage young women to trust in themselves and their ability to learn. Every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Surround yourself with inspiring people; don’t be afraid to ask questions or share new ideas. Confidence, preparation, and authenticity will open many doors for you. #Marianilandscape #Womenshistorymonth #Internationalwomensday #IWD2025 #accelerateaction #landscapeindustry #womeninlandscape #landscapemaintenance #greenindustry #greenindustryprofessionals #landscapeenhancement #landscapedesign #landscapedesigner
