My Roadside Garden


This picture at left is a portion of the 117 meters long frontage of a lot in Badio, Numancia. Before the re-greening program in Aklan, only Mahogany trees grew.

To cooperate and to entice more participation in the re-greening program, this area was registered as participant. Measuring two meters from the road edge, various flowers and ornamental plants were planted. Today, Marigold, and Bougainvillea are flowering. Bromeliads, Crotons, Sansevieria and Draecena are blooming. The pruned mahogany trees are green. The vacant space is now a lawn. What a beauty to behold! More so taking care of the garden is an excellent theraphy. /MP
