Ideal Gift On Valentines Day

Visiting my garden everyday takes the stress away from my body and mind. I am very happy to see some of my flowering plants are budding already and I am expecting beautiful flowers from them soon. And when they do, I will definitely transfer some of them to the abbey round fiberglass planters that I bought last Christmas Sale. So that, I could display them in the porch of the house because they would definitely be an eye catching piece once fully bloomed. Plus the attractive and versatile round fiberglass planters are manufactured with style and function. The smooth design translates well across a range of different landscapes, architectural and design styles, It has a simple but graceful presence.

I just hope that some of the flowers will bloom before Valentines Day, but I really don't think it's possible because we are just a few days away from the celebration. I wanted to give my husband some of the roses that I have planted because I want him to know that my love for him is just like the plant, I will take care of, nourish and maintain everyday so that they will grow and bloom beautifully and happily. It might sound a bit corny but It's actually true and I am also excused to be cheesy on Valentines Day. Lovers around the world have the right to do all the crazy things that they do not normally do on just ordinary days. To love and be loved is the most wonderful feeling in the whole world, that is why we must know how to take care of the relationship because just like plants it can wither and die if not given the right amount of everything that they need.

Let us always remember that life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, let us love the people who treats us right and just ignore the one's who don't. And always believe that everything happens for a reason, if you get a chance then take it and if it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that everything would be easy but they just promised it would all be worth the ride.

Planting More Trees In Our Community

Street, sidewalks, walkways, alley, public parks and playground areas, commercial lawns, and other public or commercial places are all subject for beautification. We all know that these public and or commercial spaces are always filled or being passed by people, so the person in charge of these locations have to make sure that they beautify or at least add accent for thee places to look more attractive and a nice place to unwind, just like the parks and playground areas. Planting trees or flowering plants in a main street premier planter makes the place totally different. Having plants in their right container, not only adds beauty to the location but it is also a way of giving back to mother nature. 

As we all know having more trees and plants around us, or shall I say having green spaces makes a total difference in our Environment and it greatly affects everybody too. They provide many benefit and advantages. More green space within a city's boundaries can improve the urban environment, it can help regulate air quality and climate and reducing energy consumption by countering the warm effects of paved surfaces. Trees in a parking lot can also reduce on-site heat build up, decrease runoff and enhance night time cool downs. There is really a big difference between shaded and unshaded areas. Trees, shrubs, and turf remove smoke, dust and other pollutants from the air.

A study shows that, one tree can remove twenty six pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually, equaling to eleven thousand miles of a car's emission. Another study have shown that one acre of trees has the ability to remove thirteen tons of particles and gases annually. There are still many benefits of trees to us and to our environment, we should keep in mind that planting trees and shrubs reduced pollution, so every tree subtracted from the ecosystem means some particulate pollution remains that should have been filtered out. Let us love our nature more and our health as well, let us give back to mother nature by planting more trees and flowering plants in our community.
