My Simple Flower Garden Beside the Rice Farm: Adding Color and Relieving Stress in Everyday Life

Hello hivers! I hope your all doing well.
I live near a rice farm, so most of what I see every day is green. I also have a vegetable garden, so it’s even more green. That’s why I started planting flowering plants, I wanted to see other colors here in the farm. It makes the place look better and not just the same view every day.

My mom is the one who gives me seedlings for the flowers. She likes planting too, so sometimes she shares what she has. When I have time, I plant them. But to be honest, I can’t always take care of the, because I’m busy with many things. Some days I just water them quickly and go back to my work.

Still, I appreciate them, especially when they bloom. The flowers make me stop for a while and enjoy the view and ambiance. It helps me forger my stress and problems even for a short time.

One flower I like is the cosmos. Mine is yellow, and it’s very light in the garden. I also noticed that it helps keep mosquitos away from our farmhouse, which is a good thing.

I also gave margaritas. The pink ones have already bloomed. But still have others colors that are not blooming yet. I want to grow more margaritas because they don’t need a lot of care. Even if I miss a few weeks of checking the, they still grow well.

There are also pandakaki and santan flowers in my garden. Right now, they are blooming a lot. These plants don’t need much effort, but they make the garden look nice. I have also small sunflower, they called it a wild sunflower. I like this because it's nice to my eyes especially when sunny days. So attractive and give life to our backyard and rice farm.

Someone once told me that people who have many flowering plants are friendly. I don’t know if that’s always true, bit I know flowers make people happy. When visitors come, they also notice that flowers and sometime ask for seedlings.

Gardening here in the farm is not difficult, bit it takes time. Sometimes, I just pass by the garden and look at the plants quickly. But when I see buds, I get excited to see the, bloom. It’s a small thing but for me it’s a part of my daily life to be happy.

Having flowers also makes the surroundings better for bees and butterflies. I see the, often in the garden. It’s nice because it means the plants are healthy and the garden is alive.

The garden is not perfect, and some plants don’t survive. But the ones that do are enough to make me continue planting. I just do what I can with the time I have.
