B.Sc (Agri) Sp
Received a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture specializing in Horticulture and landscape Gardening in 2008 from the University of Wayamba Sri Lanka. A strong horticultural background and 11 years of local and foreign work around the world have led to a rewarding profession in the landscape gardening sector. These experiences include in depth knowledge of plant species, plant propagation and nursery management, designing and implementing water and irrigation management systems, as well as many other horticultural skill sets. This has led to two large scale, 5-star resort projects in the Maldives and Zanzibar. Both projects were successfully completed with the guidance of a landscape architect resulting in these resorts, Velaa Private Island in the Maldives and the Zuri in Zanzibar, becoming world famous and top destination resorts among travelers and tourists.
In both resorts, landscape maintenance was overseen under my management during their openings. Under my guidance, standard operation procedures and professional gardening training were implemented in line with other 5-star resort facilities. An additional 2 years of experience in landscaping work under the harsh environmental conditions in Qatar helped further my expertise in the landscaping industry.
Prior to entering into the landscaping sector, I spent more than 2 years in the floriculture industry and worked with several Sri Lankan high tech cut flower production companies and helped produce roses, gerberas, chrysanthemums, etc. in a protected environment.
