"My house has always been like a flower shop, with flowers and plants everywhere," says the 51-year-old Brazilian.

She adds, "I had to find a way to earn my living, so I chose to do something I love and bought this car," referring to her recent acquisition of a green vehicle of the famous "Beetle" model manufactured by Volkswagen in 1969, the year of its birth.

The mobile garden catches the eye on the streets of the major Brazilian city, from the cabin to the hood through the box and the openable roof, Roberta covered her entire vehicle with flowers of various kinds, including roses and orchids, and other flowers that she sells to the residents of the neighborhood.
