Ryan Dahlblom started his landscaping career as a labourer, and a mere three years later he has been chosen to represent the country in his trade.
Mr Dahlblom, a Whittlesea-based landscaper, will head to Germany this month to compete in the 2013 International WorldSkills Competition.
The WorldSkills Competition is a chance for students and professionals to showcase their knowledge in their chosen trade.
Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE student Mr Dahlblom is in his final year of a landscaping and horticulture course and works for Garrett Heenan Landscape Design and Construction.
He says he enjoys the physical work and developing his landscaping skills.
Nine Victorians will make up the 2013 Australian team in Leipzig from July 2 to 7.
