"When I was just five years old, I discovered the most fantastic thing about Nature in my backyard: a towering mulberry tree that helped shape my life. I loved that tree so much that I named it "My Berry," it became my best friend, my secret, special place. My Berry taught me about being strong, resilient, and supporting others. I learned we need to dig our roots deep down to weather the tough times, spread our branches out to help others, and always ensure that what we produce is nourishing and consumable. It showed me that Nature is always there to support us, and sometimes, being a good friend means just listening. The lessons I learned from My Berry Tree positively impacted my life, and I'm confident Nature can do the same for you!" 💚
