Re: Horticulture Manager

Attention: Human Resources

I am looking forward to working at Alberta Trees and Nurseries. Having worked in the horticulture industry, I am experienced in customer care as well as botany/horticulture.

Possessing a passion for horticulture, gardening and tropical plants, along with a strong work ethic, a willingness to learn and help others, I can assist Alberta Trees and Nurseries to achieve its business and customer satisfaction goals respectively.

Because of my horticultural education, I have a good technical background in plant identification, plant and soil sciences, greenhouse crop production, tree, field fruit, floral and vegetable production, soft landscaping, entomology, plant pathology, and integrated pest management.

Please refer to the attached resume for further information, and feel free to contact me at the mentioned phone numbers and e-mail address. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Keith Daruwalla
