There is a saying, "If you can't go to the mountains, bring the mountains into your home." So with the waterfalls, the valleys, the rivers, - the world of Nature. This expression is traced back to Francis Bacon's Essays (1625):
Heritage Trees
How old is the oldest tree in your home, in your community, in places you have travelled? Trees are living monuments. They are markers of history, heritage of past, present and future generations. They capture the breeze, give off oxygen, muffle irritating noise, their shadows are natural clock tuned with our biological clock.

People who reside near gardens, parks or forests tend to be more sociable, generous and kind. These people also show better forms of self-discipline and exhibit better mental health. They tend to be more caring and trusting of others, and they are willing to help others in times of need. Now you know why it’s always a great idea to have a nice walk in the park.

Native Fruit Trees (Rimas, Santol, native mango, kamias)
Native genes are Nature's keeper of the living world. Nothing beats the sweetness of native guava and santol, the beauty of sampaguita and rosal, the resistance of native papaya and banana against virus, glutinous characteristic of rice, avocado, kamoteng kahoy, superior taste of native chicken and pigs, the twinkling sourness of kamias (sinigang) and paho or native mango (with bagoong alamang or shrimp paste) - and many others. Artificial breeding, including genetic engineering, may not long sustain - and survive in the open - in the natural world, but the native gene lives on, riding on the laws of evolution. ~
