## Early life

Greenfield Root's early life unfolded in Hollow Shades, a place that lacked the lush greenery she held dear in her heart. When she was 8 years old, she learned how to grow plants by herself and helped her village gain some greenery. As she grew older, her passion for plants led her to explore new horizons beyond the confines of her hometown. Greenfield's love for nurturing and helping plants thrive became her guiding light. When she was 23 years old, she ventured to the bustling city of Manehattan, adorned with smaller buildings during that era. She found an apartment and started a quiet life.

It was at a professional event that she crossed paths with Sterling Blaze, a pony who admired her deep appreciation for plants. Sterling's enthusiasm and support kindled the spark of a shared dream, leading to the creation of Flora Grow, a company dedicated to fostering plant life. Greenfield Root started to feel angry towards him since her modest skill had turned into a lucrative organization. Sterling Blaze understood her position and apologized, promising he wouldn't think only about money. Greenfield realized her lifelong dream, and their partnership flourished both personally and professionally, culminating in a joyful union as they embarked on a new chapter of life together. Even though she was 12 years younger than him, they fell in love and got married.

## Late life

In her later years, Greenfield Root watched as her family continued to grow and evolve. The arrival of her two sons brought immense joy to her life. She couldn't help but smile proudly at Cedar Charm's determination to carry on the legacy of Flora Grow, following in his father's footsteps. Equally, she was touched by Birch Bark's passion for art and painting, a path that diverged from the family's business but one she respected and supported, even during moments of disagreement with her husband.

As the years passed, Flora Grow relocated to Canterlot, aligning more closely with the natural world she cherished and the pursuit of greater prosperity. Greenfield delighted in witnessing Birch Bark's artistic journey and Sterling's eventual acceptance of their son's path. When Sterling passed away, she was 63 years old, and faced a new chapter in her life with strength and grace. She saw Cedar Charm rise to the position of the company's new leader. Greenfield continued to play a significant role in her family's life until her own passing at the age of 87, taking on the cherished role of a loving grandmother to Birch Bark's daughters, Eden Clouds and Leafy Branch.
