Enhancing The Beauty Of Your Own Garden

 

There are many ways to decorate your garden. Just make sure that decorating doesn't overcrowd the whole area. Sometimes, we see many decorations that we thought could enhance the beauty of our garden. But the truth is, some of these decorations are unnecessary or they don't really fit in the theme of your garden. Selecting the right kind of planters and other garden decors can also be a tiresome job, especially when you have other things to take care of. That is why, for some, they would hire a landscape artist just to do the job for them. Lucky are those who can afford to pay for the price of these designers, but those who can't have to really plan things out so that the outcome may not be grandiose but presentable at least.

Designing your own garden is a medium to long term project because you change the theme from time to time to adopt with the changing of the climate or weather. By sticking to the plain and simple garden, it also shows the identity of the owners of the house or garden. Adding planters to your patios or raised beds on your garden have its advantages too. Just like the large bowl planter which can totally transform the blank canvas of an empty space on a patio or in a yard. These large bowl planters are great for indoor or outdoor application and have dependable resistance to wear, tear, and exposure to harsh natural elements and conditions.

Although the design in your garden could really improve the curb appeal of your home, but we must also remember that we are just enhancing the beauty of our plants. We should always put in mind the essence of these gardens and what the plants give back to us and mother nature.

Beat The Heat With A Summer Shade

 

Everyone wants to beat the summer heat. Because of too much heat nowadays, people prefer to stay at home rather than enjoying the sun. But, there are still those who do not care whether their skin got burned because of too much heat. All they care of is going out and to enjoy every minute under the sun. Some would plan a week long vacation at a famous beach or inland resort. Others would go nature tripping and camp out or go surfing or stays at home and makes homemade shakes and ice cream for the whole family to enjoy. But for others, planting trees outside their home or adding more trees could definitely help beat the too much heat that we feel everyday.

Having a lot of trees and plants at home could really lessen the too much heat that we feel everyday. It cools the air and provides shade for everyone. Planting the right trees in the right places conserves energy and reduces energy bills, while helping fight climate change too. Searing summer sun builds up heat in unshaded areas of the house and puts a strain on electric air conditioners and swamp coolers. Adding green plants in barnwood planter would increase the comfort level at home. Putting your plants in these barnwood planters means that you can move your plants and trees in the location where they can grow best. Positioning your greenery to the east and west of your home blocks the low, early, and late day sun. Another energy efficient shade tree alternative are roof overhangs.

Not only humans but also many parts of the house benefits from shade trees, like, patios, decks and other outdoor living areas. With these shades, the outdoor rooms or areas does not become unusable heat traps. Let us all plant trees and conserve energy while we still can.

A Surprise Dinner For Great Mothers

My family and I celebrated the Mother's day at home the whole day, what I didn't know is that my husband is up for a surprise dinner date with our moms later that evening. The three of us were a bit teary-eyed when we get to the lobby of the hotel's restaurant because we were greeted by the hotel staff and some of the guests also did. The hotel was well decorated especially for that special occasion, it was such a magical feeling. My husband reserved a seat for us near the window so that we could take a glimpse of the beauty of the city's night life. The restaurant offers a wide variety of cuisines around the world from Filipino to Chinese to Italian and many more, they offer a great dinner buffet that day at a very reasonable cost.

We get to taste every food that they offer at the dinner buffet and drank some wine too while listening to the music that the band was playing. The music was very relaxing to the body and soothing to the soul, some were already dancing in the middle of the dance floor with their respective partners. It is indeed a night that we couldn't forget, hopefully we'll get a surprise treat next year for the same special reason. Before going home the hotel prepared a fireworks display and we all went to the restaurant's lobby to have a perfect view of the fireworks. The lobby was decorated with illuminated square planters to make emphasis of the flowers and plants that were planted on them and to also add to the hotel's outdoor lighting attraction.

After the fireworks display, we decided to go home because our moms are tired already but then we knew that they are very happy and overwhelmed just like me. They were very amazed with the illuminated planters that we saw at the lobby of the hotel and wanted to buy some to decorate their respective gardens and patio too. The celebration of mother's day ended well and we all went home with big smiles on our faces. We thank our moms for sacrificing a lot for us their children and instilling to our minds good values that we should share to others.
