Mainly Natives Plant Nursery

My friend Georgina worked for the same manager A, but for a heck of a lot longer; she left the place after me, and we started our respective journey into new lives about the same time. I sold a piece for the first time in September 2005; she opened the nursery in March 2006.

It's amazing how much of the physical work she did herself or with hubby Grant in building the nursery. She's quite a petite woman, but very fit.

This was taken for her records earlier in the game. Now, in their second winter, the mursery is pretty popular and because we plant things in the winter when it rains more, on our last visit, the nursery had big gaps where the plants had been wold. Good on them!

Yes, it's great, but boy, they work hard, too. And I mean, really hard, and of course including while the nursery is not open, too. They almost remind me of my friends in Minneapolis whose family had a chain of Chinese restaurants - they had a flash life, of course, but boy, did they work hard.
