Marrying into a family printing business moved me from being a government employee to working with my husband and his parents. No small feat! Seeing the printing industry starting to change in 2006 challenged me to wondering if it was smart to have all our income coming from the family business. I thought if anyone I would have to go back into the workforce. I brushed the cobwebs off the resume and started going to interviews. Shocker! How could I possibly go from being my own boss to working for someone else. It just did not seem to fit. Coincidentally  my best friend Lucy who is a full time teacher had recently mentioned that she wanted to do something different to keep busy during the summer months. There is only so many spa days you should responsibly have in one summer!! The Garden Girls was started in my own garden. Lucy and I were working away at pulling weeds when a neighbour was out for a walk and said “how would you like to work in my garden?” To our surprise they were serious! We decided to get out of the office and into the dirt!
