About Me

Welcome to My Nice Garden!


This weblog is about my urban gardening adventures and personal stories. My main focus is on container gardening, native and rare plants and the tropical rainforests of Malaysia.

I love nature, visiting gardens and documenting my interests in photo diaries. Gardening and writing is a great stress buster. I am just an amateur photographer who shoots with my heart. I use a point and shoot Panasonic DMC-FH1, 12mp digital camera for macros and scenery shots and a Nokia 3500 mobile phone camera, 2mp for candid shots. All the photos posted in this blog are taken by me unless otherwise stated.

Do treat this blog as a shared learning experience in this journey called 'LIFE'.

I believe that every place I visit has a garden, one way or another. So do join me as I live out my passion and endeavours.

That's me, Autumn Belle, a lady born in autumn.

    Hi Autumn Belle

    You had such a wonderful childhood! Mine was quiet carefree with lots of open spaces and dogs, something like yours. Only that my parents don't like gardening! Now I have moved to Perak (not my hometown) and have a big garden. Am trying to grow fruit trees too!

    KL Girl, planting fruit trees is a wise move towards caring for our Mother Earth and for the future generations. Fruit trees provide food not only to humans but their flowers are a souce of nectar for the bees, birds and butterflies and fruits food for the birds, bats, squirrels, etc. We clever humans can share some of the fruits of our labour with other creatures that inhabit our planet. Hence, may you be rewarded with abundance in health, wealth and happiness ;>) !

      Most nurseries carry them now since it is Christmas season. In Selangor, you can find it at IKEA, Floristika or Selangor Green Lane, eg Lot 61. Some useful links are as follows:

      2. Floristika in Bangsar - http://mygardendirectory.blogspot.com/2010/09/floristika-in-bangsar-one-stop.html

      3. Florists in Chinatown, KL eg Lee Wah Florist at Jalan Tun HS Lee.
