Cozy garden/Our World-Tuesday


 Growing up in a place surrounded by trees and flowers, I miss having my own garden, which I never have in over 20 years of living in the city.  So I was delighted when I got invited to this "weekend home" in Tagaytay.      
  Tagaytay is about 52 kilometers south of Manila, and its high altitude gives the place a cooler climate.  
The city is lush---flowers and fruits are everywhere.
It was about a two-and-a-half-hour drive---the long and winding road brought us to a house at the end of a dirt road in the middle of a pineapple plantation.  


This chair was calling my name!
I love the verdant foliage and cozy nooks surrounded by flowering vines.
Anthuriums graced the pathways around the garden.
Various species of orchids and other tropical flowers filled the property.  


The garden set provides a casual yet intimate space for new friends to get to know each other.


Tucked behind the cascading white and purple Angel's Trumpet vine is another set of garden table and stools.

A retired wooden cart  sits in the garden surrounded by orchids and bougainvilleas.
