A new look with a new set up - renovating the small garden at my native - personalized approach to this new set up, emphasizing high level of care and attention to detail.
Building a garden takes years and after almost five years, I decided to give a new look to the small garden at my native, that would bring some positive vibes on my parents. Even though Mom dissuaded me to not do anything considering their age, I think it in the opposite way, in a more positive way - a better environment will always have positive impact - Happiness can add years to their age - it's just a little more work for me, which I am happy to do for them.
So in the first phase, I have included fifteen small pots, as the place where they are kept is not big enough. We have a lot of space in the roof top, but then going everyday and watering plants would be a burden for Mom. So here she or house help lady can water easily. I have to keep these very important facts in mind because Mom can't do anything else other than watering them in a while. Given that, she has asthma, Winter is the most painful time for her, so I don't want to put any burden on her.
In the interest of saving time, I had these pots half filled with soil and took all the saplings from my place. I had five Chrysanthemum saplings grown on a grow bag specifically for my native, so that I could carry them easily. And then these french inca saplings were being grown on couple of big pots. The car was fully loaded with plants when I went and our security guy was a bit surprised to observe that and ask details out of curiosity - I have another home to take care, hence all this and that takes higher precedence. It took couple of half day's hard work to complete this new set up and I was very happy to see the final outcome - it's a small set up but looks nice.
During my stay, I took them to the roof top, so that they can get enough sunshine to grow better. Uplifting them and again bringing back before I came, was certainly a lot of work, but I always emphasize on high level of care and attention to detail - may be just an habit that I can't get rid of, even though it is more work. At the end all that matters is self satisfaction - I have a strong affinity for plants and will always do what I can.
And Dad loves this new set up, he often goes and stand there, watching them closely, though he does not say anything. I can sense his happiness from his expressions - that look says it all. I had to take him to submit his life certificate, more to come on that......And of course some update on football....
