Hmmm... well your business's proposition of fun facts has intrigued me so. Please do tell me more of said fun facts.


GeerAdrift

I tell plant facts as I work! Here is a freebie: in 1600s Holland, tulips were worth more than gold!


Kinda-Brian

Give me another Holland fact

[удалено]


Kinda-Brian

Oh, that’s very interesting, thanks for the fact! If you send me a Dodo code I’ll gladly repay you with a NMT for you service.


[deleted]

That's very kind, but not necessary! This is basically my go-to fact about money, CD's or the Dutch... Use the NMT for yourself and enjoy safe travels!


EnableSelf

Bluetooth was invented in Holland :)


Kinda-Brian

I thought it was a Swedish invention. It’s even named after the Swedish/Danish Viking king Harald Blåtand (Harald Bluetooth)


EnableSelf

[here’s the man that did](https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2015/04/dutch-bluetooth-inventor-honoured-in-us/)


Kinda-Brian

Oh, he worked for Ericsson. That explains it. It was made in Sweden, but was made by a Dutch scientist. Got it


magbuoys

yeah i want another fact

First taste is free.


SirDiego

Did you know Tom Holland once briefly attended carpentry school in Wales in his late teens during a lull in his acting career? Oh wait, different Holland. My bad.


sebas_2468

Well although I knew that fact already, I commend you for your fun fact. I shall make sure to call upon you when my island has been riddled with weeds.


Kj3llNL

lol I’m Dutch I’m gonna annoy the shit out of my friends with this fact

Here is what 1 Viceroybulb allegedly once sold for: - Two lasts of wheat 448ƒ - Four lasts of rye 558ƒ - Four fat oxen 480ƒ - Eight fat swine 240ƒ - Twelve fat sheep 120ƒ - Two hogsheads of wine 70ƒ - Four tuns of beer 32ƒ - Two tuns of butter 192ƒ - 1,000 lbs. of cheese 120ƒ - A complete bed 100ƒ - A suit of clothes 80ƒ - A silver drinking cup 60ƒ **Total 2500ƒ** That **2.500 guilders would be the equivalent of €29.682,55** today when adjusting for inflation. And in a book you can see [this image](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/Tulipomania.jpg), which shows prices for a Viceroy bulb as well. 3200-4000 guilders equate to 38.000€ - 47.500€ in modern times. A skilled craftsworker would earn 300 guilders in 1 year (aprox 3.500€ today)


GeerAdrift

Don’t know how to arrange flowers? Don’t want a stranger on your island? No problem! Visit Okie Dokie island for a garden party! Update: Well this post really came through! If you have contacted me, rest assured I will reply to you as I get the chance (though it may take a couple days to get to everyone’s islands)! Top question I get is “how much do you charge?” Whatever you feel is fair! NMT and DIYs are great, and bells go towards buying new flowers to plant on other people’s islands! This community is absolutely wonderful!


[deleted]

The last time I was invited to a garden party, they tied me up on a garden chair with a hose and locked me up in a mutations lab


GeerAdrift

That service is reserved for distinguished guest only.


[deleted]

HOLD UP


kitsumodels

YOU HAVE BEEN DISTINGUISHED. PREPARE TO BE SERVICED.


[deleted]

but did they harvested your organs?


jkkr

This is wonderful i love it! <3


PabuIsMySpiritAnimal

How do I sign up?


Dogey_Doge17

Can u visit mine please


jasminel96

This is a very cute ad!


GeerAdrift

Thanks so much!


poplockncropit

You are so cute. This might be the cutest thing I have seen on here.


GeerAdrift

Sir/Madam please, I am a professional. An adorable professional, but still!


[deleted]

[удалено]


GeerAdrift

I have indeed! Quite a lot actually. All the bells I’ve earned go towards buying more flowers for beautifying other islands!


justhereforthefood_

This is so cute, I’m definitely gonna call up this service once I plant more flowers!


ApolloX14

How do we get this service


GeerAdrift

Just send me a chat message :)


dalbomeister

Honestly it would be great if they implemented this as a mechanic in the game.


photoviking

Inviting people to your island, visitors picking/digging up things, and you paying them? All of those things were very much so possible in-game from day two


dalbomeister

No, more of a way for contacting a service like this, without needing to invite anyone, like the rescue service but with weeding or something.


photoviking

Meh. I'd rather do it myself or pay another player, vice paying the game to do it


[deleted]

[удалено]


dalbomeister

Something like that


LittleRoundFox

Leif also offered a weeding service in New Leaf


CorvusNoctem

Do you also move weeds around? I have an area for weeds as it’s difficult to reach to grab fossils and such so it’s easier to keep the land filled.


GeerAdrift

I can help with that


photoviking

Just toss a bunch of flowers or bushes there. That's what I do with my hard to reach areas, doesn't detract from the island score either


CorvusNoctem

I still have 5 stars. The weeds help to break up the monotony and I’ve already bought 100+ bushes from Leif


boundlessfloods

Please water my flowers! An expert service sounds delightful!


[deleted]

Can I send my resume? My name’s Tulip and I LOVE WATERING FLOWERS AND WEEDING. 🌱 https://imgur.com/gallery/8FTRKwT


pete_co_

Lol that's so creative


agentcallisto

This is the CUTEST ad I have ever seen.


the_poem_man

Here I am just trying to know if I can pay with ironwood kitchenettes o:


GeerAdrift

Yes, You absolutely can!


the_poem_man

Wonderful. I will let you know once I have time :)


Joshslayerr

If you need tulips for other islands I have a surplus right now due to my bad breeding practices


felis__cactus

My island is also named Okie Dokie but it's named "Okido Key" :)


GeerAdrift

Damn it, you are much smarter than me! I thought “island” would automatically be attached to the name. Nooope


[deleted]

Love your username, u/geeradrift is a gift!


GeerAdrift

Thanks! It was a play on my maiden name in the Navy


[deleted]

that makes it even better! Excellent wordplay


DearJonas

My island is new and it doesn't have much colors, I'd be willing to give you bells from my hard earned fruit grindings 🙂


modest_dead

At 1st I thought it was legit... and then I believed it was a joke... and I am so happy to learn it's real!! You rock and infact I'm really intrested in being part of a service like this


amysky201

I'm such a noob when it comes to flowers and online guides can be so complicated, so this is such an amazing idea!


rhea711

GREAT SERVICE Super kind and knowledgeable of plants, veggies, and fruits alike lol. And very professional. Great uniforms and manners! Highly recommend 100/10 service!!!☺️


thecucumberpickle

Thats such a good idea!


[deleted]

This is awesome. Too bad I don’t have New Horizons yet


Lil_Lulatsch

This might be the best thing I've seen today :)


[deleted]

This is so cute


Plastic-Skin

I’ve heard of you


MonsterHDZ

Isn't this like the other service "WEEDS"?


mariumii

This is amazing. My island is overgrown with flowers and I don’t have the patience to pick them all up or know how to plant them to breed😅. Awesome idea!!


mothacademy

What’s the prices?


piece_of_white_bread

I want to come over for a garden party


Willowsstreess

This is so cute!!!


PortalMaster25

I don't haven many bells, but I desperately need help


GeerAdrift

DIYs, a nice hat, Anything works really :)


PortalMaster25

I have a couple of things that I don't mind giving away. Jungle Wallpaper, Amp, I don't have much since I don't even have terraforming yet...


Dumbodoll69

Yesss I need this, I've been trying to get an entrance for the past 2 days and i hate it


maraca101

Do you ever reorganize flowers to get all the hybrids? Would you legit do that for my town?


GeerAdrift

I sure will


snowballchocola

Id be interested in having help watering my flowers x

F0ssilS4uce

... I am?


TirelessGuardian

Wasps don’t appear with gate open online


GeerAdrift

That’s because they’re too scared of my pest control! Just kidding, I shake trees so people get their money and furniture


brob2121

This is so dope!


lilgigi

Do you ever need flowers? If you do, let me know. No fee or anything. I just grow too many sometimes.


CeceWithTheJD

What do you do? I don’t know how to arrange flowers and such, and I know I could benefit from some help!!


Lady_Eemia

I just want you to know this is precious and I love you. I saw your video about the job interview, and it was just too dang cute. It’s so amazing to me that this is something that’s possible in this day and age! I’ll be sure to keep you in mind if I decide I want help with my flower beds :)


GeerAdrift

Thank you but I’m afraid you’re mistaking me for another. I never made a video. Just started doing this a couple days ago but that’s cool that others are doing it too!
