My mother taught me all about Nature while growing up and always took me on Naturewalks to teach me about flowers,trees,animals.
When I was about 6 or 7 years old I wanted to make little Tussiemussies and sell them.It was my own idea,I picked them,made Tussiemussies and dared to go into a Flowershop with them ..hahaha..well they bought my whole basket full and wanted me to make more....my FIRST Bussiness adventure.

I have such fond memories of this that 2 weeks ago our youngest Granddaughter Julia ( 4 ) wanted to pick Violets.Ok..here it was raining buckets but we both bundled up,took an umbrella,giggled like 2 little girls,came into the house and I taught her how to make Tussiemussies.....her comment ...."Omi you are my BESTEST friend :-)
