Spring time, where most of the flowers comes to its full bloom. Hubby's grandma is in love with gardening. She just turned 95 years old last Wednesday (April 16, 2014) but she still manages to take care of her garden hands-on without any assistant! I've never been in a house with such wide garden. She's a bit eccentric in a good way (I think their whole bloodline are).

When I first came to their house, I saw a label outside with his father's name with a doctor psychiatrist below. I then saw the Nature Sanctuary below it and I asked hubby why's that. He said that's his grandma's garden. I laughed at first but as I entered the gate, her huge garden welcomed me. My first thought was their house is like inside a mini forest.

I am not fond of flowers, plants and fruits so I can't really name them at all. The flowers above are just two among her collection of flowers. Those were just along the pathway so it made it easy for me to take a photo of them.

Her grandma despite her age, have memorized how many flowers have bloomed or how many fruits have her plants blossomed so if you plan to pick a flower or a fruits, be sure to ask permission first. Well, that was what I was told when I asked my hubby if I could pick that one Atis fruit hanging above me.

Inside our secret garden

Not everyone could maintain a huge garden in their homes such as this one. Even our (my parent's) house don't have a garden, we only have a couple of plants in front of the house. This is an amazing hobby to maintain. It is astonishing indeed. Only a few people could get to be in their garden making it Our Secret Garden.
