I fell in love with plants at an early age. During the summer, my brother Stephen and I spent time in Aunt Clara’s garden watching and helping her with her plants. As a child, her garden became my favorite place.
Eventually, I grew my own garden with Bachelor Buttons and Marigolds at first. My garden was full of flowers, each one with its own peculiarity and personality.
Then I met Sarah Bardelmeier, Founder of the Horticultural Society of The Bahamas; my garden began to bloom and, as the saying goes: “the rest was history”. I enjoy attending the monthly meetings at members’ gardens, where we exchange tips and also get expert advice from various speakers. Gardening is a joy to me and bromeliads are now my favourite plants.
