Only just a drive way!



Is the drive way only for an access or more than that!

Ever since we began lining the driveway in our cottage with plants, it has a new look. This is the first monsoon season since we planted them. They have grown and give a colourful look. A visitor who cam after six months mentioned that, 'there is a look of welcome. Plants and flowers make a difference’.

Since them we have been thinking about it. What is the difference between an overgrowth and a garden!

A garden communicates a message or a theme! It is planned and developed according to a design. 

We happened to visit a friend in a three storied building last week and noticed how some residents in the flats transformed the front of their homes with plants in the pots arranged neatly and aesthetically!   

Human eyes behold beauty and colour to take in a message or an inspiration! That is why we need to keep the environment communicative! 

We are in a hurry and stress prone by habit. So create spaces within our homes and outside which invite us to pause and reflect!
