Today’s green industry relies heavily on Latino workers. But for
many managers, language differences can cause even simple
instructions to be confusing.
To help landscape and turf managers break down this language
barrier, the Hall County Extension Service and the North Georgia
Landscape and Turf Association are hosting a course,
“Introductory Spanish for the Green Industry.”
The classes will be on Wednesday nights from 6 to 8 p.m. from
Oct. 1 through Nov. 19. Suzanne Lloyd, owner of Cutting Edge
Landscaping, will teach Spanish with a green industry twist to
landscaping professionals.
The course will cost $50. It will be taught at the Hall County
Extension Office in Gainesville, Ga.
To learn more about the classes, call the Hall County Extension
Service at (770) 535-8293.
