This border represents my transition from maiden to mother and how the connections I have cultivated along the way have carved the path for me to pursue my career in horticulture when my prioritise changes once I became a mother. The annual flowers and plants represent my maiden phase where life could be fleeting and fast paced. Then it transitions across the bridge representing becoming a mother and then into the perennial plants which represent the forever phases in my life.
