Allright, sounds good, I’ll contact few firms directly then. Thanks a lot!

If the firm is interested in what you have to offer it’s usually not a problem. There is always a shortage of landscape architects in HK, so there are always a few firms hiring. Your past projects and portfolio are important.

@Michael, No I am still in the EU, do you reckon is feasible to get a job from here? 

I suggest just sending your CV and portfolio to any companies you’re interested in, and take it from there. Are you in Hong Kong at the moment?

@Albert thanks a lot for the info, I’ll take a look! 

@Alessandro try going to the companies’ websites.  If not sometimes you will have luck in recruit.com.hk and jobsdb.com

Good luck!

To Andrew Slater, There are many species of plants from Bamboo, Climbers, Conifers, Grasses, Ground Cover, Palms, Shrubs and Trees suitable, if you can be a little more specific as to location in Hong Kong. Then I can give you actually what plants you require. James G. James Walker-Green < james@jwgspecialists.com>,

Hi everyone,
 
I have just won a small design job and looking for a bit of advice.
 
Can anyone give me a short list of plants that would be easy to source in Hong Kong and suitable for planting around an industrial site (ie very low maintenance!)
 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
 
Many thanks
