Summary
Hello, I am applying for this job because I have a deep passion for nature and plants. For Trees for bushes for herbs for flowers, for the insects that visit them or munch on them and for the animals that live amongst them as well. I enjoy the artistry of creating with living things, with plants and I like to look at the bigger picture of ecosystems and how everything interacts with each other.
I don't have a lot of professional experience but I have helped many people in many different climates with their projects as a volunteer. Mostly growing food but some to restore native Plants. I have also enjoyed working on my own projects in my own yard in a few places that I have lived. I hope that doing this work will offer me opportunities to continue to expand my knowledge of plants and further refine my abilities to create beautiful and harmonious landscapes.
