>> [Background Music] My name's Wolfe Bonham.
And I graduated from Landscape Design
and Horticulture Studies at Mohawk College.
[ Music.]
I currently own my own landscape design business called Peace
Love and Landscaping based in Burlington, Ontario.
[ Music ]
The role that I am enjoying most in my career is being able
to work outdoors most days.
Interacting with clients.
And just being able to express myself creatively
with landscape design.

I decided to take my studies at Mohawk College
because I could do it in the evenings while I could continue
to work during the day in my industry.
[ Music ]
I think the best thing that the program prepared me
for was the ability to network with people
within the industry while I was going to school.
[ Music ]
I was most impressed with the enthusiasm of the instructors.
And that really helped make the learning a lot easier.
[ Music ]
I would say one of the best advantages of the program is
that you can take one or two courses just
to get your feet wet and see if it's an industry
that you're interested in getting involved
in without having to commit to a full-time program.

As a landscape designer owning my own business,
now when I'm looking to hire students,
part of the things a look
for beyond them just being a Mohawk graduate
from the Horticultural Landscape Design Program is also to see
if they have a sports background.
That they're involved in volunteerism.
And that also have some sort of an interest in environment.
