The National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) partnered with Marty Grunder, industry consultant and president/CEO of Grunder Landscaping Co., for a new educational event called the NALP Field Trip with Marty Grunder.

The two-day event will take place in Chicago on Aug. 23-24.

Attendees will tour Mariani Landscape, and CEO Frank Mariani will provide an insider’s look at the company.

“I am honored to partner with NALP on this event where we are going to literally change lives,” said Grunder. “I know that sounds silly; however, I know what Grunder Landscaping has learned from Frank and his team and I know the value this event will have and there is no doubt in my mind that when we are done, attendees will leave feeling smarter, inspired and glad they came.”
