Hey there, check out my recent post on the singles page to find out a little more, I love talking to anybody, maybe I could share some info on florida for you.

Lotoya, I'm rather open ended on what I am looking for, send me a message if you want to talk more even if just to share information, I could share some of what I have learned thus far to help you out maybe.

Hi Lotoya!  Feel free to give me more info on what you are looking for.

Hi all,

Just wondering if there are any girls out there looking for an opportunity to get out in the country and start growing things.  I have some health issues myself that stop me from doing some things, like driving.  Maybe there is someone who wouldn't be bothered by my situation and would like to take advantage of four acres.  I myself am trying to build a plant nursery business and would love a partner if someone was into that sort of thing.  I am in north florida by the way.  If any of this sounds interesting to anyone let me know.

Hi Kyra,

I'm working on creating a plant nursery business in north florida that may interest you, although it is just in its beginnings.  Send me a message if you want to know more!

This is a very interesting thing, because it is true... there is some nature appreciation involved with those who hunt, and they are the conservationists in the area.  I myself am not into hunting, but the conservation aspects seem a plus.  There are a few places around me that manage the land "naturally" with prescribed burns and such, to promote quail.  But, alot of things benefit from it.

Although I start discussion on tropical trees, the moment it starts getting cold (freezes the last two nights) I have to admit I start to change my mind...  I'm such a wimp.

I actually live about directly halfway between these two and have been to both!  I have gotten many things from them!  I'm glad so many people seem to know about them (at least crawfordville).

Yeah it will be interesting...I was previous in a more urban environment in central Florida and the whole native plant or "wildlife" garden thing was catching popularity.  I am in a fairly rural area and I am not sure how attitudes will be different, but so far people around here seem to have some nature appreciation (at least for larger wildlife, not sure on the insects yet!).

Thanks for welcoming me!  I have four acres, about a acre has been set aside for permaculture type growing, fruit trees, bamboo and other useful plants.  The rest of the property I hope to use to grow and propagate native plants, that is my big interest.  I'm not obsessive about "native" status, but I am interested in the connections with animals and insects and the rest of nature.  I would love to create a nursery (possibly doing a little internet business, but rather focus on community nearby).  There seems to be possible demand because people create areas on there land for conservation (usually for hunting but none of my business, if they are creating habitat...).  There are so many aesthetically pleasing plants native to the coastal plain that I think people will really take interest if they are not aware of them (and I assume many aren't because there is not alot of pristine wilderness anywhere, mainly farms and timber land.  There are obstacles but I'll see how far I get!
