My father is a serious gardener and he collects exotic seeds from other countries and germinate them in his nursery to be planted to the city's parks and grounds. He works for the city's Natural Resource and Environment Office. As soon as the cock crows, he's already in his garden.

My father is more into fruit trees and decorative trees. He has more than 20 varieties of fruit trees in his garden. Neighbors are blessed to come and enjoy the fruits for free.

Durian, chesnuts, avocado, marang, rambutan, lychee, etc. He's got them all in his garden and always bearing in each season but almost all-year round they get to enjoy the sweet pomelo.

When I was there last June, I enjoyed the most delicious avocado. They're big and very rich.
My Ma is into flowers. She likes her house surrounded with blooms. Below is the collage of photos I took when I visited my parents.
I'm glad I am a gardener like them.

a giant oak in an acorn.
