I went to a friends house today. She was going to a guys house who is moving to Singapore,he was giving her some unique plants. I was nervous at first, becuase I didn't know him. But WOW... He had worked as a massage therapist for a Pro Football team, he traveled with them on a contract and made excellent money. The house he is selling is amazing, not only is it new agey designed to be in harmony with nature, but the outside was just absolutely beautiful. He has a ton of gardens designed for specific purposes. 1 was a large aroma-theraphy garden, with exotic plants from all over the world. Another was medicinal herbs, exotic and native species. He used as many native plants/trees to provide for the animals as he did exotic plants purely for their beauty. My senses were alive, there were thousands of relaxing smells in the air. The property is on the water and he had special areas set up all over, for healing therapies or just meeting with friends. The gardens were also desined to attract as much wildlife as possible, providing food and shelter for the animals. It was just beautiful.
I am excited because in the spring, my friend will be splitting the plants she recieved and passing some on to friends. The species are new, his partner is a Doctor of medicine, and also hobbies as a Botanist. The species of tropical plants were graphted and altered slightly to survive outside this Northern climate. What brilliant, beautiful minds to give this nurtured enviroment to nature and also share it with other people.
