In addition to his design firm, John Beaudry Landscape Design, Beaudry has worked with many outstanding organizations including the Chicago Department of Environment where he coordinated a program that combined job training for people in recovery with community gardening. He was Senior Horticulturist for the Chicago Botanic Garden and, most recently, Operations Manager for Rubicon Landscape in Richmond, California where he managed landscape crews comprised of formerly homelessness individuals and people living with mental illness.
