Nature has always been a great teacher for me. I love to be outdoors in nature. I enjoy the fresh air and spend a lot of time amongst the trees and flowers.

I always had a garden as a child and I was fond of observing plants and flowers. This has been a hobby for me to see plants grow.

I don’t have a big garden now. On my first-floor balcony, I put some plants in my flower pots. Then I watch them every day and speak to them. It gives me joy in simplicity and appreciating life’s small, fleeting moments.

I learn several lessons from them every day. This year I decided to plant some flowers in the community park where I live.

From the moment I planted the seeds, I saw that growth doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, care, and the right conditions to flourish. Nature has shown me that it is a slow and steady process.

Even if I try to rush it, it will take its own time to get quality results. The seed needs to generate, and I watched those I planted patiently till they germinated into small plants before I could transplant them into the central place where I wanted the flowers to grow and flourish, so that all the residents around could enjoy them.
