About Us
So what's with the name, Kotyra? Is it derived from the beautiful tourist town of Kotyra in Ukraine? It's funny because our name is actually an abbreviation. One day, our founder, Al and his daughter were discussing and brainstorming names for the new business. Taking inspiration from her surroundings, Al’s daughter formed a new business name, Kotyra.

Mikaela Field (Mikki)
Currently doing an apprenticeship in Park and Garden, Mikaela’s dream is to work with Parks Victoria in the future. She is very passionate about the outdoors - despite the wet days. She is also very curious about many things and loves to ask questions. Her love of animals and nature is second to none - except spiders which is why it makes sense that she is a gardener.

He does everything for us. From woodwork to removing the car door. He pays excellent attention to detail and hopes to retire at 30 (well, good luck Tarq!). His hobbies outside of work include fixing things up and making them new again, hanging out with friends, cooking, DIY at home, hunting, and fishing.
