ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:

My name is Germi, I am a visual artist and a plant enthusiast. I grew up with a house full of plants since childhood. When I tried to take care of my own plants, I always struggled to do proper care. In recent years, I have gotten the opportunity to work in the garden department, where I got more knowledge and experience about plants. Since then I have been passionate about educating, encouraging and helping people in taking their first steps and finding joy in this hobby!
