Landscape Live!

Dominick Mondi, Executive Director of the New Jersey Nursery and Landscape Association discusses labor and the landscape industry and how immigration reform could impact the entire horticulture supply chain. He gets into why immigration reform makes economic sense for the green industry, and why, even if you don't use H2B or H2A, the immigration system affects you.Originally entering Rutgers University with the intent of becoming a veterinarian, Mondi ended up being accepted into the landscape architecture program and graduated in 2000. Mondi has worked for several landscape design build and landscape architecture firms, including Lipinski Landscape and Irrigation, now Merit Property Services, one of the top 100 landscape companies in the country. In addition to his professional landscape career, Mondi served as program coordinator for several years at the Rutgers University Office of Continuing Professional Education developing, organizing, and running educational programs for the green industry.
