10 Questions With: A Mental Health Therapist

10 Questions With: A Small Business Owner
Featuring: Our Secret Garden (Lori & Justin Mattingly)

In 2010, I started working for a landscaping company called Our Secret Garden. The job was perfect because it was a seasonal job during the Summer. I was just beginning college and it fit perfectly in my schedule. Little did I know that the job would further enhance my work ethic, relationships and knowledge on life. The days were long but rewarding. The other employees were from different backgrounds which led to many great discussions. The business owner was more of a teacher and therapist, than a boss. This Summer job holds a near and dear place in my heart and will forever be my favorite job.
