1. My reflections

In this episode I’ve learned what is “Landscaping“, yes, I didn’t know the meaning, but now I know that Landscaping is the act to make the garden visually pretty, putting some stones and others nice objects around the plants, using colorful vases and everything else that will make your garden looking pretty.

So, I think almost all adults that living in a big city like me dreams with their moving to a countryside and living in a big house with a big yard and begin to build their own garden, harvest fruits and vegetables, cooking them to the relatives, without pesticide, everything fresh and delicious.

Now retuning to reality… I don’t have a yard, I live in an apartment, but here we have a balcony with some plants, and I confess to you that if I don’t control myself is easy to put more vases than the balcony’s space supports.

Ah, I almost forgot to share, I have plants inside the apartment as well 😆

Have some plants at home can bring joyful to environment and make us feel that living in a big city can be good too, not equal living in a countryside I know that, but who knows in the future living in a countryside can turn in reality.

Follow below few pictures of my plants:
