After working for twenty years in an insurance company, Stéphanie Leray is changing her life. “I was a little bored, I wasn’t necessarily very fulfilled in my job. And then the confinement came. I stopped working to home school and the work didn’t really help me. lack.
In any case, not this one. And then, I never managed to get back to work when I had to go back. From there to knowing what I wanted to do, I didn’t really have a clue yet. “
Her passion for flowers catches up with her, she who has been making flowerbeds for 13 years in her garden in Bourgneuf-la-Forêt. “One day, my husband told me about the profession of floriculturalist and in fact, it’s a profession you don’t know, a profession where you can just grow flowers. It started like that.”
An online kitty to buy a truck and equipment
Stéphanie Leray therefore embarked on a project to create an ecological flower farm in her garden, Les fleurs de mon moulin. “Today, 80% of the flowers used in France are imported.” The neo-flower grower has already planted dahlias, cosmos and tulips, among other things, to sell them in the spring at home and in the markets.
But for that, you need a greenhouse, a truck … Stéphanie Leray has therefore launched an online kitty to finance her project. She has already raised more than 3,200 €.
