Dear Mom,

How are you and everyone at home? I'm doing well but a little busy completing an asignment.

It is due next week. I can't believe you remembered that I took a course in landscaping. After all, it was

two semesters ago. To answer your question, I'd be happy to give you some tips for an indoor garden.

Since your friend lives in an apartment, the first thing to do is find out the direction her balcony

faces. If it gets direct sunlight, then she should have sun-loving plants in her balcony. She can get

Jasmine. However, if it doesn't, she could choose shade-loving plants such as the Boston fern.

If her balcony is small, she may want to have a vertical garden. A planter box is attached on

LeisureBy William Henry Davies

 What is this life, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughsAnd stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide theis nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.
