A Flower Trellis for Ashley to find peace in gardening
Posted Jun 22, 2021
Ashley recently started getting into gardening and enjoys the peace and joy it brings her when she has her hands in the dirt. She was previously working 2 jobs, being a housewife, and a mom to two beautiful kiddos. Thankfully she was able to leave one of her jobs so she could spend more time with her children. She would love to put some trellis up in her backyard to plant vines up it and enjoy the beauty. Gardening has allowed her to de-stress and spend time with her kids.
Ashley is 35 years old and lives in CO
Ashley was born to parents who both had mental health disorders and developmental delays. When she was 14 her father was diagnosed with a terminal brain disease and passed away only eight months later. Her mother was unable to care for her and her sister and they ended up in foster care. Living in a group home she graduated from high school and went on to college where she graduated with her degree in Psychology. She has done a lot with her life, including joining the military, getting married, and having beautiful children of her own. She is currently working in hospice to help others through their grief. She received her Master's in Social work in May 2022. and hopes to advocate for children in foster care, as her team advocated for her.
