She began gardening and wild schooling with her six kids\, learning about native plants and wildlife\, how to both give to and receive from Earth\, creating natural remedies from “weeds”\, and the power of connecting with nature to balance stress and sadness. Candy’s business is called Joyfully Blooming because she loves helping people find joy in discovering their authentic\, natural self\, hidden under the facade of social demands.
