Time for gardening

Recent typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng devastated many things (properties, businesses, communication, agriculture, etc.) and even claimed many lives. It really saddens me to see the aftermath and fear for what has yet to come if we still not do something about our nature and surroundings.

At home, my family is lucky to be spared with the raged of both typhoons but not to some relatives. For several days now I am busy gardening, cleaning and beautifying the area. When I look at my garden, the colors, flowers and the aura gives me a feeling of peace and serenity. I have trees and several plants in my garden. The strong wind and rains of typhoon Ondoy brings trash and damage in my garden and that is what I am dealing right now. I cut dead stalks and broken leaves and support plants with stakes against strong wind. Christmas is nearing and I want my garden to be in order and look great again. November till January is the cold and rainy season perfect to work in my garden.

Keep a garden at home to provide shelter and food to other creatures. See as birds and butterflies roam in your beautiful garden. Watch as your fruit-bearing trees and flower-bearing plants bloom. What more is you have a place for your family where you can relax and enjoy the view. Happy gardening!!!
