Nicole Bouza shared the story of discovering this green gift from her grandma, and the story just oozes with joy.
Nicole starts by explaining that, when she was little, her grandmother used to put seed buds all over her home in little jars.
“Everywhere there was a little sill, you would find a seed of some sort,” she recalled.
So it made sense that maybe, just maybe, one of these seeds would have been planted and grown into a beautiful tree.
And then suddenly… Nicole stepped on an avocado!
With a little help from her neighbor, Nicole discovered an entire avocado tree thriving in the backyard. As soon as she found the trunk, she saw that there were way more avocados growing and falling around the yard.
What a precious reminder of her grandmother.
