🌿 Build the Landscape. Build Your Future.

Most "resume builders" happen in a cubicle. This one happens in the dirt, the gardens, and the history of one of Long Island’s most iconic estates.

The Planting Fields Foundation Service Corps is your chance to trade the desk for the great outdoors. You aren't just maintaining a landscape; you’re leaving a visible mark on the world while earning a stipend and gaining "boots-on-the-ground" career experience.

Working in small, mentor-led crews, you'll walk away with the leadership skills—and the behind-the-scenes access—that sets college and job applications apart.
