Daisie

I have two kids, Seven year old Tyler (autistic) and thirteen year old Ivy and I'm a horticulturist. My passion is permaculture, organic gardening and inspiring little people to get their hands dirty. I love my vegie garden and chooks and being at one with the earth and her seasons.I recycle where ever I can and try to tread lightly on our earth. I am a huge fan of Fair-trade, Oxfam, Greenpeace and any other Environmental Cause that I come across. I love crafts and swaps and blogging. I am always busy doing something new!! I am very new to Swapbot, after been away from it for six years so I value each and every bit of help, advice, and ratings!
I find that slandering human error without asking for a reason very disrespectful so for any issues please just talk to me. I am always guilty of human error because I'm human like YOU!
