About Me

MY INTEREST IN LANDSCAPE DESIGN DATES BACK FROM BIRTH BECAUSE IT HAS BECOME A FAMILY OCCUPATION. I QUIT REMEMBER THOSE DAYS DAD TAUGHT US HOW TO USE SHEARS TO TRIM A FLOWER. I STARTED MY EDUCATION AT ADUKRO D/A JHS IN THE YEAR 1993. AT PRIMARY SIX(6) I WAS VOTED THE COMPOUND OVERSEER. I EARNESTLY UNDERTOOK THAT MANTLE. SINCE MY DAD WAS NOT RUNNING THE SCAPPING IN LARGE QUANTITIES I COULD NOT FURTHER UP MY EDUCATION AFTER COMPLETING WA SENIOR TECHNICAL SCHOOL. I DECIDED TO VENTURE INTO LANDSCAPE DESIGNING TO BE FINANCIALLY STABLE AFTER SEVERAL ATEMPTS ON VARIOUS MANUAL JOBS. THE RETURNS THAT JOB FETCHED ME WAS ON A HIGHER RATE COMPARATIVELY SO I DECIDED TO START UP MY OWN ALONGSIDE MU DADS BECAUSE HE WAS GROWING OLDER. I STRIVED TO HARDER TO EARN SOMETHING TO CATER FOR MY YOUNGER SISTERS EDUCATION. NOW WITH THIS JOB I TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE FAMILY NOW. IN MY VICINITY MANY PEOPLE ASPIRE TO WORK WITH THE YOUNGSTER BECAUSE THE THEY ARE SMART IN DELIVERY OF THEIR SERVICES, IN VIEW OF THIS I DONT PLAY WITH CONTRACT GIVEN ME. THIS ATTITUDE HAS FETCH ME MORE CUSTOMERS . MY FAMILY SEE ME AS A GREAT LANDSCAPE DESIGNER.

My Business

LANDSCAPE DESIGNING HELPS TO BEAUTIFY OUR SURROUNDINGS. PUBLIC BUILDINGS USES OUR WORK TO DIRECT THE PATH OF VISITORS ALONGSIDE MAKING THE BUILDING LOOKS NICE. IT TAKES CRITICAL TIME TO NURSE STEM CUTTINGS TO GROW INTO BLOSSOM TREE. COST OF NURSERY BAGS, FERTILIZER, FARM TOOLS, WHEEL BARROWS AND ABOVE ALL PROTECTIVE CLOTHES. PROFUT GAINED FROM THIS BUSINESS IS USED TO MAINTAIN THE NUSERY SITE AND BUY NEW FLOWERS. I CARE FORE FOR THE FAMILY AND SUPPORT MY KID SISTERS EDUCATION .

Loan Proposal

This loan will $400 loan will fetch me more income to buy seedlings and prepare them to be planted at stake when sold to my retailers. This will adversely increase my profit and increase my daily profit at around 30 % .
As a farmer i can get more money to employ temporal worker to help me on the farm.

    The harmattan caused many nursed seedlings to wilt so I am in a greater loss now. I hope things will be alright the weeks ahead so I can increase to a higher amount.

    I contacted Evans and he said he will be repaying today so am sure he will do exactly that.

    The sudden change in the weather condition(Harmattan) has resulted less sales because during this season, people barely buy flowers.
    The market for artificial flowers is on the increase in this season.
    The loan i just recieved too has been used to prepare some seedlings.
    I hope market moves on perfectly so i can adjust to a higher repayment amount later.

    I THANK ZIDISHA FOR FINALLY FUNDING MY LOAN AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. THIS LOAN WILL FETCH ME MORE MONEY TO MAINTAIN MY NURSERY BEDS AND BUY MORE SEEDLINGS TO STOCK MY BEDS. THESE SEEDLINGS AND NEW BEDS TO BE RAISED CAN FETCH ME MORE PROFIT AFTER SUPPLY THEM TO RETAILERS AND OTHER CLOSE COOPERATE BUSINESS PARTNERS.
    THIS SEASON IS A TIME THAT MOST PEOPLE DECORATE THEIR HOUSES WITH FLOWERS.
    I AM STILL GREATFUL TO ZIDISHA THEIR EARNEST COOPERATION.

    I INTEDEND TO USE THE LOAN TO CATER FOR A GOVERNMENT CONTRACT THAT I HAD WON AS A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER. UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROJECT HAS BEEN HALTED. THIS COMPELLED ME TO MAKE A REFUND OF THE MONEY BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAINTAIN A GOOD STANDING IN REPAYMENT BECAUSE I DIDNT HAVE MORE MONEY TO CATER FOR THAT MLF I DECIEDE TO PAY.


    THIS LOAN I AM REQUESTING NOW WOULD BE USED TO BUY INPUTS FOR MAKING MUCH MORE NURSERY BEDS AND PLANTS FOR SALE TO RETAILERS AND WHOLESALERS.
    HOWEVER, THE DRY SEASON IS FAST APPROACHING IN GHANA SO I HAVE TO

    I PURCHASED MUCH MORE HIGHLY DEMANDED SEEDLINGS WHICH I REPLANTED SO MY FARM IS SO ATTRACTIVE NOW. I WON A GOVERNMENT CONTRACT TO DECORATE THE LANDSCAPE OF A NEW OFFICE BLOCK WITH FLOWERS. THIS CONTRACT HAS INDEED FETCHED ME MORE MONEY AND HAS ALSO EXPOSED MY MARKET TO NEWER CUSTOMERS. FROM MY REQUESTED MLF ONE CAN SEE I HAVE MADE GREATER INCREMENT IN MY BUSINESS. (150%). MY KIDS SISTER IS ALSO MAKING A HEAD IN HER EDUCATION AND I HOPE SHE EXCELS.
    I HAD THE CHANCE TO ATTEND A COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL SECTION ORGANIZED IN MY AREA. IT WAS ABOUT HOW TO MAINTAIN WATER LEVELS FOR PLANTS BECAUSE WE ARE FAST APPROACHING THE DROUGHT (HARMATTAN SEASON). I HAVE LEARNT MUCH MORE INNOVATIVE IDEAS TO INTEGRATE INTO MY FARM.
