GARDNER and landscaper, Neisha Nilsen loves getting her hands dirty.

From Renmark, the 25-year-old has been in the field since high school, although it now plays second fiddle to her main job - a barmaid.

When it comes to gardening and landscaping, Neisha does it all; mowing and whipper snipper-ing, laying turf and planting plants, pulling weeds and wheel barrowing dirt and gravel. 

“I enjoy working in an environment females wouldn't ‘normally’ work in to show that we can do it,” Neisha said.

“The best thing about this job is feeling like I can accomplish just about anything, even in a male dominated environment.”

Neisha said sometimes, being female, she finds the opposite sex don’t value her opinion, but she has proven to a lot of people that she is capable. 

“In saying that, I have developed a great sense of humour and have become ‘one of the boys’,” she added.

And when it comes to getting the job done, Neisha said females can often go that extra bit.
“I believe we females want to get a job done perfectly and have a tidy end result,” she said.
“We have an eye for detail.”

Asked if she would recommend gardening and landscaping to fellow females, Neisha didn’t have to think twice.

“Yes,” she said. “It's a great opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and show everyone that females can do it!”​​
