Gardenasia
http://www.gardenasia.com/
What nature inspires in lifestyle, Gardenasia aspires to encapsulate through its commitment in creating unique and appealing experiences. Kenny Eng, the eldest of three siblings has always been in the family business of gardens, floral art and landscaping as far as he can remember.
Growing up, Kenny was constantly exposed to the nursery and interacting with customers in the showroom – the experience indirectly groomed the nubile mind into today’s entrepreneur. Kenny knew that innovation was the way to keep the competition at bay; thinking out of the box, stretching the limits, tangential marketing…as long as there was an opportunity to sell the lifestyle concept. Eventually, event management, artwine, Gakids edutainment…and many more innovative business concepts became part of Gardenasia’s portfolio.
At this visit, Kenny will personally be spending time with you and also showing you around the grounds of Gardenasia, which is tucked away in the rustic surroundings of Sungei Buloh.
Date : 18th Nov 2009 (Wed)
