My name is Carlos Caetano,
I was born in the green Island of S. Miguel,
Azores, I lived in Candelária, a
small town with about 1000 residents.
In 1971, My father migrated to Toronto
Canada looking for a brighter future
and became a gardener in the city of Toronto, my mother came to
join him in 1972.
In
1974, My
4 sisters and I came to join my parents, we had been living with
my grandmother for two years in the Azores. At the age of 13 years old I started working with my
father during the summer time. We worked 6 days a week,
12 hours a day.
In
1987, With the
little money I had saved over the years I was able to buy a truck
and enough tools to start my own Lawn and Garden business and it grew from
then
on. I have expanded my services into many areas of the city of
Toronto including Willowdale, Lawrence Park and Rosedale.
Achievements,

annual Best Garden Contest in 1998. My father won the prize in
1999, I came second. However I was again the first prize winner in York's
annual Best Garden Contest in 2000 and 2001.
