Kirstenbosch - the biggest open-air botanical garden of all. I fell in love with this garden when I first came here back in 2004.

Full bodied Blue Jays, or just their heads. Drawings of birds in silhouette form, in ballpoint pen, or with layer upon layer of mixed media, are what follows.

Have you ever heard birds singing? I bet some of you have. Here, I will show you guys a singing corner for birds located at Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West.

One of the best things Paris can offer. Oh, those gardens! I keep on coming back. The pure beauty of Paris. Place de la Concorde, Tuileries Garden and then the Pyramids of Louvre - nothing can beat this experience!

Wapping was originally a Saxon settlement. This area was known as a marshland until the 16th century when it was drained. It then became a rich meadow and garden ground until it was acquired for the London Docks. By 1969, the docks at Wapping were empty. Trees were planted and it was optimistically called Wapping Woods. However, the trees could not survive and the result is the small park we have today.
