A little bit of heaven

[NiceFarmer]

Fast forward 60 something years and I expect myself bundled up in a corner of my house, bed-ridden or, at the very least, chair-ridden, complaining about aching joints and how my grandchildren don’t visit anymore. But a little meeting with Sultana Anwar Ali, a spry 83-year-old, who spends her days running around a garden and making ice cream, was enough to give me a new perspective. Sultana is an ice cream maker, a florist and a gardener all in one. She discovered her passion for gardening after she started arranging flowers at home back in 1958. And, even over 35 years later, her passion remains undimmed. We stroll through her garden, and she points out the different types of flowers that grow beside the rows of fruits and vegetables. As she lists the numerous flowers she has seen or grown over the years — heliconias, amaryllis, orchids, lilies, poppies, daisies — it’s clear that her memory is just as sharp as it was when she was younger.
