Angela Blagojevic has been described as having a green thumb, and it shows as a variety of beautiful flowers blossom in her little corner of GAFA Protea Old Age Home.<\/p>\n
When asked what\u2019s her secret she gushed, \u201cThere is no secret, like with anything in life you just need to have a passion for something and you can make it work.\u201d<\/p>
Angela moved to the home a year ago and has already transformed the gardens surrounding her little home into what she describes as a little piece of paradise.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I arrived last year this area was so dry and dead, it was terrible. I decided I was going to turn it into something wonderful,\u201d she said.<\/p>
Gardening has always been close to her heart and come rain or shine, summer or winter, Angela enjoys nothing more than tending to and relaxing among the variety of plants that bloom in her garden.<\/p>\n
\u201cGardening really is my passion, I just love gardening and have always loved gardening,\u201d she said proudly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my previous home, I had turned my garden into my own little piece of heaven and have done the same here.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked if she had a favourite plant, Angela couldn\u2019t decide, however, maroon roses do hold a special place in her heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy late mother\u2019s name was Rosa and my maroon roses, which have just finished blooming, remind me of her,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She is not the only one who enjoys the spoils of her hard work.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy neighbours all love the garden, with some commenting that it makes them homesick as it reminds them of all of the beautiful flowers in Holland,\u201d Angela explained.<\/p>\n
Angela credits her passion and love for gardening for her garden\u2019s beauty.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I see my garden in bloom my heart is so happy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
