Growing Dreams: My Journey from Seed to Sale
Everything I know about plants—and nature as a whole—I learned from my mum and dad. From a young age, they taught me how to listen to the world around me, to notice the small changes in the seasons, the importance of caring for living things, and how nature has a rhythm of its own. These lessons didn’t just give me knowledge—they gave me a deep, lifelong connection with the world outside.
Even though my dad sadly passed away several years ago, everything he taught me still lives on in the way I tend to the garden, walk through the woods, or explain a flower to my boys. It keeps him close.
Now, I want to pass all of that on to Al and Ted—the same curiosity, care, and love for nature that shaped me. Because in doing so, a part of him lives on in them too.
