Summary
I am an ethical, hard-working and reliable employee. I have experience in landscape and general yard work from home, and knowledge of plants in a retail setting from my summer job at Garden City the last two years. I recently took a Horticulture class, which I enjoyed and received an A. I am considering pursuing horticulture or nursery production as a career and want to learn more about it through on the job experience.
