Ms. Heatherann Rose
Welcome to my blooming world, where the magic of “La Vie En Rose” blossoms in every area of my life. By embracing the essence of “Life in Pink,” I’ve learned to see the world through rose-colored glasses, finding beauty and positivity in every corner. During my transformative journey through divorce, I emerged as the matriarch of my newfound tribe. Determined to embrace my power, I gifted myself the surname “Rose,” a symbol of love and resilience that binds me to my life’s motto.
With a bachelor’s in elementary education, I’ve found my classroom amidst the vibrant blooms and whispering leaves of the garden’s university. In a rocky time, fate presented me with a unique opportunity during the COVID-19 crisis. Inspired just to get outside, I transformed my backyard into a flourishing ecosystem bursting with life. From delicate petals to towering trees, it is here that I find solace and joy, where the gentle symphony of nature’s melodies becomes a harmonious song in my soul.
Throughout my gardening adventures, I’ve witnessed the pure joy radiating from my daughters, The Rose Sisters, as they explored our gardens. Their enthusiasm ignited a creative flame within me, inspiring me to craft children’s books that would help families share the same curiosity and joy that I’ve experienced with my girls. From this, The Rose Sisters Garden Series was born.
I invite you to step into our world, where gardens whisper tales of growth, where every petal holds a story, and where the beauty of life reveals itself in the most unexpected ways. Join Audrey, Poppy, and Genevieve on their whimsical journey as they unravel the mysteries of nature, cultivating love, imagination, and a deep-rooted connection with the world around us. Here, we embrace the extraordinary and date to witness the wonders that bloom when we nurture our wildest dreams.
