Plants and creativity, an absolutely winning combination. Today we'll tell you how Rosa's passion for plants drove her to create.
Plants and creativity, an innate passion
Rosa Ferro is a true Francofonte native who has turned her passion into a hobby. Born in Francofonte, she lived between Francofonte and Germany, where she moved for work. Rosa is the grandmother of four wonderful grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Besides her passion for plants, she also has another very strong interest: dance. She regularly attends the Fusion Dance Academy led by Maestro Vincenzo Ville, another Francofontian, and by participating in competitions, she has even managed to reach the podium with her group.
But now let's start telling a little about her story. Rosa has been passionate about plants since she was little. "I used to watch my father go to the countryside, and as a child, I loved the idea of picking flowers. Gradually, this passion grew with me, and I began to dedicate myself to caring for plants."
She began making compositions in Germany, but once she returned to Frankfurt, she created her own personal garden and from that moment on began to create using plants.
Creativity with a green thumb
In his creative moments he uses succulents “because they are special to work on” and uses objects of various types, sometimes even recycled ones, which come back to life through his hands.
Experiment and give new life to the pots and the plants themselves. "A plant can become a means to express the creative side of each of us. I like to give plants back their identity, so they can have a life of their own."
And as for the creative side, he explains, "For me, creating is something beautiful and unique, and it also allows me to relax. I enjoy creating compositions, combining colors and plants. Sometimes I even combine seemingly different plants, but the result is always unique and special."
And then he continues, "I often give them as gifts to my dearest friends. Giving a plant as a gift is like giving a piece of my heart. I express joy through plants. And even looking at a simple terracotta pot, I can immediately imagine what the final result could be."
Among his favorite plants are cacti and evergreens because “They are easy to combine and even those who don't have green fingers can eventually take care of them without putting in much effort.”
Cheerful, lively and energetic, capable of exuding energy from every pore, Rosa shows us that even a simple plant can give vent to the creative side of each of us!
