I like working with anything to do with nature.  Although I would like to be a guide, I can also do landscaping, design and many other things from my experience at Green Futures.  

Khanyisa Dyesi

I can work in a big nursery, do landscaping or anywhere that I can deal with nature.  I also wish to further my studies and learn more.

I would like to work in a nursery because I like to work with plants.  I know how to do cuttings of fynbos and other indigenous plants.  I would like to work with people so that we can help each other.

I learnt more about plants and can do cuttings of special fynbos as well as other plant species.  I also like to do landscaping and planting.
