My Life Journey
MY LIFE JOURNEY
Let me tell you a story ……
I could have not imagined that my life journey
would take me to see, wander around and
enjoy few of the world’s famous gardens.
Yes, in Europe, Canada and Western Asia.
Let’s start with the most beautiful Spring
Garden in the world, Keukenhof Tulip Gardens
in Lesse in Netherlands, southwest of Amsterdam.
One of the world’s largest gardens and also known
as the Garden of Europe that features seven million
flower bulbs planted each year with gardens and
pavilions showing fantastic, magnificent collection
of tulips and other flowers like daffodils, orchids,
lilies, hyacinths, carnations, irises, roses and so on.
The Butchart Gardens in Brentwood Bay, British
Columbia, Canada displaying a group of floral gardens.
It is an oasis with lush greens and colorful blooms.
It is open year-round with nine hundred varieties of
plants, where each season brings its different flowers,
always in bloom in rainbow of colors, and considered
as a National Historic Site of Canada and known as an
impressive world-renowned attraction beaming with
five gardens, fountains, sculptures and streams.
There is The Miracle Garden in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates in Western Asia known as the world’s largest
natural flower garden featuring one hundred fifty
million flowers in full bloom and known as the most
picturesque, sweet-scented destination with modern
landscaping, including the largest floral sculpture of
an airbus, floral sculptures of Disney characters, like
Micky Mouse and very colorful heart-shaped arches.
It is awarded by the Guinness World Records for having
the largest vertical garden with its floral sculptures.
It is called The Miracle Garden because it was built
on a desert in Western Asia, part of the Middle East.
Here in America, I wandered in Skagit Valley Tulip
fields in Mount Vernon, Washington, where rows
of colorful tulips are on display, usually every April.
I was so fortunate to visit my aunt in Seattle in April.
I also enjoyed International Rose Test Garden
in Washington Park in Portland, Oregon for its more
than ten thousand individual rose bushes, representing
over six hundred ten rose varieties, so delightful to see.
In my life journey, I always focus on my blessings and
the opportunities given to me, such as wandering
through these gardens felt like being in paradise, which
could be a place or a state of mind of bliss and delight.
