Gianna

I come from farming stock—Subsistence farmers in Louisiana, as well as overseas in Italy—but my plant propagation over the years has been more based in my love for all living things. As a child, I would sing to a lily of the valley bush in the front lawn of my childhood home after reading that it could positively affect the plant’s growth. Next to that bush was a tall Dogwood tree my father planted there as a sapling because, as he does to this day, he always left behind new life where he went. I hope that trait passes to my children.
