The garden in the backyard of our tribal friend is such a beautiful reminder that a simple life can still be meaningful and full of color. When I visited their home, I didn't expect to feel so inspired by something so humble. Their garden may not be larger, but it is alive with flowers blooming proudly and vegetables growing through hard work and patience.
Our friend live a simple life. They do not have much, but they are hardworking and determined. Every day, they wake up early to take care of their farm. Their goal is not luxury, but sustainability to be able to plant, harvest and have free food for their family. In today's fast paced world, this way of living feels rare and deeply admirable.
What first caught my attention were the flowers. Pink roses stood gracefully, soft yet strong, showing how beauty can grow even with limited resources. There were also million flowers spreading happily accros the soil, roses in different shades and lovely purple flowers adding contrast and life in the garden. Each flower seemed to tell a story of care, patience and love of nature. Gardening, I realized is not just about planting - it is about believing that something beautiful will grow.
Beyond the flowers the vegetables area just as impressive. There were alugbati, Baguio beans ready for harvest, chili adding a touch of spice, and many more vegetables growing side by side. These plants are more than just for they are symbols of effort and resilience. Every leaf and fruit represents hours of tending under the sun, watering and hoping for a good harvest.
During my visit, I decided to harvest some vegetables and buy them directly from my friend. It wasn't just a simple purchase it was a way off supporting their simple garden. When I paid her, her face lit up with pure joy. She is so happy, and honestly Iwas even happier seeing her smile. It reminds me how meaningful it is to support local growers, especially friends who work hard to sustain their families.
Seeing her hard work touched my heart. They may live simply, but they are rich in determination, skills and values. Their garden teaches an important lesson: you don't need a big farm or expensive tools to star. What you need a big farm or expensive tools to star. What you need is dedication, patience and respect for nature.
The garden is more than a backyard garden. It is a living classroom that teaches sustainability, gratitude and hope. it shows that planting your own food not only feeds the body but also strengthens the spirit and the community.
As I left their home, carrying fresh vegetables and a full heart, I realized something important; supporting small gardens like this helps keep traditions alive and inspires others to appreciate simple, honest living. In every flower that blooms and every vegetable harvested, there is a story of hard work and that is truly beautiful.
