Garden has been an essential part of every household. It has now progressed to LANDSCAPE art. You may have ‘beautied’ the landscape with all sort of beautiful plants. Have you given enough attention in well lightening the area – to make Night Time, The Right Time; the best place for partying. For decks, patios, lawns, walkways; there are different lighting options. Give little thinking and care; all can be done ‘WOW’fully without ripping the pocket. How you made your garden into an Eden? Share your ideas.

I am not a gardener at all. Grew up on a farm and got it out of my system instead of falling in love with it I am afraid! I love to look at other people's gardens, however, and the creativity some of you have is just awesome!

I live at the third floor of an apartment building... so there really no space for a garden... even a small one... but last month a bought a pot... soil... and seeds... i wanted to start something for a pot... but sad to say that i failed in my first try in gardening... but i am planning to try again this summer... seems like the seeds i bought are suited for warm weather and less rain...

Plants are relaxing - Plants create a cool atmosphere. It gives the surroundings a feeling of comfort and rest. It's as though you are secured and relaxed in a home surrounded with greeneries.
I used to have a garden that took up half our front yard when I was newly wed. Oh it was actually an orchid garden. However, when it was time for us to build a bigger house... the garden was nowhere to transfer and and it was destroyed and so were most of my orchids. Now I still maintain a garden in front of my house but smaller and sans the many orchids. I have few orchids left but I think even without the many orchids I still maintain an Eden in my house because of the different varieties of plants not plain orchids as before. The variety of colors with green as the dominant pleases my eyes. I also maintain a well manicured lawn at the front at the sides and at the backyard because I love looking at the greens most of the time. My garden adds joy in my life...the fresh scents...the lively colors that complement each other always brigthen my every day. I love the greeneries for it gives serenity to my soul.
