What was the first garden you remember, and what impact did it have on you?
Well, I must say, I started my roof top garden to get some fresh flowers for our daily worship to God. Before that, I would go to the market and buy flowers for 10 rupees - begging for some more as he would give max 10 - 15 flowers. I was spending time for that and also some fuel. The time, the money was not worth because I knew the flowers were not fresh. So I decided to plant a few trees on the roof top and then you know the impact - It's just growing non-stop.
Sometimes it is innocent because of the passion one puts into gardening now the exponential growth is rewarding and surprising.
Nice one. No more will you have to beg for extras because you have them happily growing on your rooftop. Now, you get to have a satisfactory worship, and the Almighty deserves all the praise. β€οΈβ€οΈ
That is a gorgeous story! I didn't realise that but it makes sense now!!!! I bet you didn't even realise that you'd end up with other benefits aside from the cost! You can now be grateful for that flower seller.
True, he made me a farmer to connect with nature.
This is so beautiful @sanjeevm!!!
This is amazing, I wish I could grow flowers but they barely ever survive because of the climate.
It is so cool that you had a need and quickly found a solution by yourself.
What a truly beautiful reason to start a garden!! I love that it's an integral part of Thai gardens too - to always have fragrant flowers on hand for the Buddha and for spirit offerings.
