As a child, my friends and I would make mini-gardens on patches of earth outside my house. We got cuttings of mayana (coleus) from yards around the neighborhood. A few weeks after, we would have lush, multi-colored leaves in our tiny plots.

In my freshman year in high school, our Home Economics class had a gardening contest. My group found cosmos saplings and replanted them around the perimeter of our designated area. Soon after, we had dramatic golden flowers ringing our space. We trounced the competition.

One of those thoughts had to do with getting a good book on the subject and reading up first and foremost before taking the plunge. I left out one other very important (and obvious) source of information: the Internet.

Unless you have a friendly neighbor who can plant-sit for you, you will have to devise ways of keeping your indoor plants watered while you are away.

Most plants will survive without watering for a few days, but if you are leaving them for more than a long weekend, special arrangements will have to be made.

Visitors who come in buses, jeepneys or private cars usually drop in at the dozens of stalls selling clay products ranging from colored miniature souvenirs to flower pots and large clay jars especially on weekends.

Blessed with world-class deposit, local entrepreneurs are cashing on the large supply to develop and expand the pottery industry which dates back to the time of Handiong in the Bicol epic Ibalong, written about 4,500 B.C.

It is even a more uplifting experience to view ordinary things bathed in gallery lights such that when accorded timely consideration and reflection and with minimal intervention from the artist, the transformation assumes the proportion of a serious art venture.
