What's blooming in the garden

I missed my garden when I was away in Dubai. I missed my morning stroll in the garden. It has been raining for a few days and that made my plants happy and blooming. It's quite simply a paradise.

Gardening is one of my passions and I can spend hours in the garden admiring the flowers, the colours and the fragrances. I would say it's something that has been passed down to me by my parents. They like flowers and both have green thumbs. I'm not sure about having the green thumbs though....I don't do well with the indoor plants. One thing for sure, they would have loved my garden.

My garden is like a nature therapy to me, the kids and my hubby know where to find me whenever I'm feeling blue. It gives me a peace of mind. There's no better alternative I would ever find.



It's more of a cottage garden concept. A mix of delightful colours, fragrances and textures.


Marigold and zinnia liliput.


Petunias.

Roses, marigold and jasmine.
