About Amos

I started out mowing lawns in 2004 and did my apprenticeship as a nursery tradesperson in the Whitsundays. Then came ten years of nurseries, wedding venues, parks and fine estates, up there and around Nowra.

I've run my own business since 2016. In 2021 and 2022 I looked after 34 acres of garden on an estate in the Upper Hunter, and I've stayed in the valley since. I work for high-end clients, and I keep their names to myself. Fine gardening is my specialty now. In the tropics it was edible plants and exotic fruit.
