Plants Are Perfect Gifts

Giving someone a gift on a special occasion is natural thing to do. We give them a present to let them know that we care and we remember. There are also times that we give a present in exchange of a favor. But more often than not,  we give presents because we want to please the person who receives it. We may have different reasons why we give someone a present. But one thing is for sure, if the person who receives the gift is happy, we are happy too. Just like what  Carlos Ruiz Zafón said, “Presents are made for the pleasure of who gives them, not the merits of who receives them.”. 

More often than than when we give someone we love or value a present, we give a little part of ourselves. We wanted to be remembered through our gifts. It is mainly the reason why we have to be satisfied and happy with the gift first before giving it to someone we cherished. We do not give them just any gift. It has to be something special and unique just like the living wall on my mom's kitchen wall. The living wall is nothing ordinary. There is not many people who has this kind of decoration in their living room or kitchen. I gave all my efforts to grow those herbs on the living wall. It may have its own reservoir, but I see to it that it does not run out of water. I watched it grow everyday and made sure that it is free from diseases. I read all books about gardening to ensure that I give proper care to container plants. Seeing how beautiful, unique and useful they are, I am sure that anyone who receives it will be thrilled just like how my mom was thrilled when I gave her my first living wall project.

Gifts must not be always be bought by money. Most people appreciate it more if we made the gift with our bare hands. Hardwork and effort add value to the gift. Gifts must not always be expensive as well. The most important thing is that it came from our heart.

DIY Living Wall Kits For Home Improvement

Time flies so fast. It seems like yesterday when I wrote about the living wall art which is my current project at home. Now, the plants on the walls of my kitchen and living room are thriving beautifully and healthily. Inspired of the good results, I bought several Herb Kits and Seed Starting Kits and a few more DIY Living Wall Kits. I am planning to cover the entire living wall with my favorite plants but I am not sure how to do it. But I have high hopes that just like my first green wall project, this new project will also succeed.

Initially, I am confident that I could do the green wall project alone. But this is a huge project for me. I tried asking help from my family members and relatives but they said I can do it without their help. The first green wall project which I started last week is growing healthily which means the curse of the brown thumb is probably lifted according to them. They don't budge to help no matter what I do or say. Frustrated with my family for refusing to help me, I read the instructions which came with the DIY Living Wall Kits and Herb Kits and Seed Starting Kits for the nth time but nothing seems to register in my brain. It seems so easy when my family were helping me. Left with no choice, I decided to call the store where I purchased the DIY Living Wall Kits and asked for their help. 

Do it your self living wall kits are indeed easy. All I need is an expert to give me some tips. With my fingers crossed, I wish that this new green wall project will also succeed. I do not have to worry about watering the plants as well since the DIY Living Wall Kits includes its own watering tank and moisture mat which will keep the plants living and green. My first green wall project is doing okay so definitely the next green wall project will also be okay.
