2022 Landscaping Internships

Meet Our Interns

Now in its seventh year, Southview Design’s internship program provides students the opportunity to experience the landscape industry firsthand. The purpose of Southview Design’s internship program is to give students working knowledge of the landscape design-build-maintenance industry and an understanding of the overall operation of the company.
