In “Mi Terrario”, Alicia Videla produces and sells plants, design pots and does artistic gardening.In her cart located on the tracks, she set up a very attractive mini-pyme.It's mid-morning but everything indicates that this is the moment when a very pampas frost is falling, one of those in which the cold slides through any pore that is exposed.But inside that cart you could walk in a T-shirt, because the gas heating and all the coverage that the owner of it had inside makes the microclimate ideal.And if it is full of cacti, succulents, kokedamas and pots of the best taste, the best plan is to stay there and admire all the work that Alicia puts into her business, which is in the heart of the city and never ceases to amaze who passes by and stops for a minute to look at what they offer.“Eight years ago I started this project, I have taken all the possible courses and I do artistic gardening, in addition to being a producer of kokedamas, which would be like first cousins ​​of bonsai and are highly demanded, for example, to decorate tables at parties and events. .I'm a manual worker and it's been 9 months since I set up the cart: I had to put it together because renting a place is impossible for an entrepreneur.I had a gazebo here on the Paseo de las Vias, but my daughter was six months old at the time and I couldn't have her there with something so precarious.We passed all the storms, winds, cold, heat, everything.She came every day with the car, unloaded, set up the stall, reloaded and started again, I don't know how I did that for so long, ”Alicia Videla (50), the owner of Mi Terrario, asks.And she did it for so long until she made the decision to turn her project around.She sold the car and put the money into building the cart.She finished it and settled on the corner of Raúl B. Díaz and Alsina, a place where thousands of people circulate daily and where Alicia offers an oasis in the face of so much movement full of everyday life.“I do artistic gardening, design pots in cement, in white and grey, and then of course I paint them and bring them to life.People love mini gardens and I'm doing very well with that, I also produce cacti and succulents.I come here every day, on weekends, at the fairs organized by the municipality.I put all my dedication and effort into it and I love what I do.Luckily things are going well for me, I have my oldest son studying Architecture in Mar del Plata and he is close to finishing his degree, so that also drives me to put all my effort into this, which finally became a mini-SME”, she says.Alicia's work and evolution allowed her to access, after three years, a loan for entrepreneurs from the provincial government and she will use that money to buy work tools.In addition, with part of the money that she had left from the sale of her car, she invested in the purchase of goats, producers of guano, a one hundred percent natural fertilizer.“I invested money in the goats, I rented a place for them to be and basically what I do is raise the guano and then it is stretched, dried, I pass it through a machine that grinds it and ends up as a natural fertilizer that I later sell. here in the cart in bags.In other words, I recycle that guano and, instead of buying something chemical, I use this, which has a lot of benefits for the plants and the environment,” Alicia highlights.Alicia is a member of the Council of Manualists and her intention is that most of the people who work through her endeavors can achieve what she did: have their own place equipped with everything necessary to do a good job."I'm a fairground and in those circumstances I went through all the adversities, that's why I got involved in the Council, because from inside is where you can help the rest of the craftsmen and artisans, I do it from the soul because I live from this, I come every days and I'm doing fine, but those who don't have the resources to set up something of their own have to go to the gazebo and the conditions there are complicated”, Alicia details before explaining her project for the enhancement of the Paseo Ferial, with the aim that "become a new shopping plaza, attractive to people and visitors to the city."In this sense, the owner of Mi Terrario elaborates the project together with her son, a local architect and the professors of the University of Mar del Plata where Tomás studies.“The objective is for this to be something economical and sustainable, which is why it seems essential to us that the materials that are already in the place be recycled, that all the pipe structures that the current gazebos have be reused.The idea is that they be closed spaces, with thermal insulation inside, for when it is very cold, also with windows to ventilate in summer.And that they also have an overhang to protect the merchandise from climatic adversities, and that they do not get damaged”, Alicia said about the project that is progressing in its preparation.In My Terrarium the possibilities are many.There are spheres, colored birds made of cement to hang as pots, small ornaments, everything to buy and give and treat yourself.Objects and natural life to give color and joy to any environment.“People of all ages pass by here, everyone stops, asks, comments and I love that because I can show all the work I do and how nice it can be to connect in this way.It was a process of change and growth in my life, the fact of focusing on the project in this way, dedicating myself one hundred percent together with my daughter is something that fills my soul and generates well-being in every way.And I think that somehow it is transmitted in what I do and offer”, Alicia values ​​that she found her little place in the world and turned it into something great.In something that is thought in green.Weather alert for La Pampa due to windsTwo renowned athletes in a talk open to the publicMassa: "It's time to provide solutions"Boca debuts a shirt: without a sponsor and inspired by the '90sThe Municipal Market opens: offers and places of saleThey announced a scheduled power cut for several neighborhoodsThey launch a trade course: registration and conditions"With him began a path of claims that endures"Anses confirmed July payments: all datesDo you want to receive alert notifications?La Arena is a daily morning newspaper, with distribution throughout the province of La Pampa and the center of the country.Contact us: info@laarena.com.ar© Owner: La Arena SA Director Leonardo Santesteban.Legal Address: Bartolomé Miter 339 Santa Rosa La Pampa.DNDA: 57049672.
