Peter Meier is a poet, painter, inventor, former local councilor and florist. The 81-year-old is closing his flower shop in Vaterstetten at the end of March.

His son Roland has supported him in recent years (“We live in the same house”). However, he didn't want to get into the business. For him, despite all the changes, there is no sense of doom for the industry. “But it's nothing for me at my age anymore”
