Life
After graduating high school, Frankfurt, Germany '73, moved to Oregon to go to school. Experienced "Culture Shock". After only 3 months, went back to Germany and lived and worked until late '75. Moved back to VA with folks. Met my "now-husband" in '76 there. Moved to the mountains of NC in Sept. '76. Worked all sorts of jobs then decided to study Horticulture after purchasing 30 acres of land. In '84 started my own landscaping business (primarily gardens of all sorts). I have greenhouses, etc. Grow almost all the plants I use for my jobs. Had 2 girls in the middle of all that. Started late . You know, n...Expand for more
ever a good time to have kids. Older parent with young kids. Still a professional gardener and probably will be until my body quits or I die one. It's hard work but I am passionate about it.

Having your own business ties you down tho. Hard to travel in the summer. Hard to find good help. Now that I'm getting "old", as my kid's keep reminding me, I long to connect with old friends of the past who really are the ones who made me what I am today...CRAZY!!!
