Dear Sir. Madam, I would like, with this letter to show my interest in the landscape design and creation work prospect on an Island in the Caribbean that my friend and colleague Raphael Serre mentioned to me a couple of weeks ago. I currently have limited knowledge of the project but I understand that it is a 3 year Job to design, and create various gardens and entities on an island with an additional task of managing around 20 staff. At this stage, I would like to assure you that I am willing to take on such an exciting task, and I believe my passion for plants, botanical knowledge and network of experts in the field would be beneficial. Although I have been very involved in the academic field the past few years I have not lost sight of the gardening and design side. I am a hardworking individual, with sense of perfection and have a desire to pursue new challenges. I have also gained good experience in managing people over the past few years I am a strong believer in the conservation of our environment, but also to use all its potential in order to create a successful fusion between existing vegetation and new plantations and creations. With the little knowledge I have so far about this project. it might make sense to initially create some well integrated wind screen plantations in order to protect any new plantations and create an agreeable environment for anyone walking and browsing through the gardens. In the design. several entities could be created, from the suggested Palm plantations. possible flowering collections such as ephyphitic Orchids and Bromeliads. several thematic gardens and entities, and possibly a self sustainable fruit and vegetable garden. I also believe that to make such designs and creations successful, it may be necessary to collaborate with other experts in botany, construction and design. It would also be important to consider various sources of local knowledge am more than happy to discuss the project further at
