grouie says hi!

When passion becomes a job then the saying 'all this and heaven too' becomes applicable. That is exactly what happened to me. I gave up my 5 to 9 job though lucrative, to venture into landscaped garden designing. When you like doing something and you get paid for it there cannot be a better situation than that. I got an opportunity to design gardens for builders and individuals. I did this for a few years until we shifted to a rural setting to enjoy retirement.
I designed my retirement home and developed a landscaped garden around it with a waterfall, birdbath and lots of fruit trees and ofcourse the usual flowering bushes, including a terrace garden.
I am here to learn and share.This is a video clip of our home which was designed by me.

Hope to have a great time here.

Wow, hello there and thanks a lot for sharing your inspiring story! Got to be super brave for doing something like that, I salute you for that Glad to hear things turned out well for you doing what you love, they say that when you do what you love for a living it doesn't really feel like you are working anymore I can't wait to experience something like that myself, hopefully once I'm done with med school...

You are right there. But my love for gardening helped me do that. You too I am sure will get to fulfil your dreams.
