Mike Maran’s Profile

I started my first job as Golf Greenkeeper and qualified in that profession. After 10 years, I changed my employment to Head Gardener at Auckland City Council Parks. I expanded my qualifications to Certificate in Trees & Diploma in Noxious Plants. I resigned from the City Council and decided to put my plants knowledge in to starting up my own Tour Company specialising in Garden Tours. Since then I have expanded into Garden education, a teaching Garden School to Japanese students.
