When we bought our house 3 years ago, not a single plant was in the yard except a few giant Slash Pine trees. We are constantly planting new trees and plants, most to provide future food and medicinal benefits. We are also creating some native grow spaces in our yard. We are so fortunate to live where we live.
We truly believe everything happens for a reason. We never wanted to live in Florida, but moved for family and a promising career that failed and brought us to the middle of nowhere….literally in Central, South Florida….who in their right mind moves to Florida and chooses to live as far from there ocean as possible?! Oh, yeah….that’s us. We never thought we would stay right here. We bought this foreclosure and figured we would fix it up, sell and move coastal. But after 3 years, leaving 2 careers, and now starting our own businesses; THIS is the home that serves us best. We are happiest here! We can grow anything right here and have the space to do it. We can have bonfires in our backyard. We have room for workshops, space to park our trailers, and trees between us and the neighbors.
Something told me this was HOME. Our Realtor and now good friend didn’t even want to show us this property because it was in such bad condition. But 3 years later we now know why this is meant to be our home.
Follow your heart and trust your soul.
