Hortikultura Filipina 2018

I am just a simple backyard gardener, but,

 I genuinely came to truly love gardening.

Thus, taking it a notch higher

by joining garden clubs and attending agricultural

 seminars. Because, when you develop a love
for gardening, you seem to want to learn more
about the plants, how to grow them better, or
learn more about different plant diseases, so that
you really know what you're doing.

One of the biggest garden shows

in the country is the Hortikultura Filipina by

the Philippine Horticultural Society. I attended

the Orchid Show and the Hortikultura event last year

as a walk in, and I'm very glad to attend this year's

event as finally part of the tour, as I get to see all of the
gardens and learn more about the plants from the guided 

tour held by the Renaissance man Mr. Rence Chan

who is absolutely a genius in many fields.
Aside from the plants that are on display,
we also learned more about the beautiful park.

The event opened last February 2, but 

is still ongoing at the Quezon Memorial Circle, 

Quezon City until February 11. The park 
is also filled with booths selling plants,
fresh produce, garden decor, and, all
things every gardeners will love.

owners of the World of Creepy Crawlies at Manila 
Ocean Park. The are also exquisite antique pieces
