Sorry, this is a very late upload of our Garden Cub Tour last 2017 but its better late than never. A fun time shared with Talisay Garden Club enthusiasts and I happy to say Im the youngest in the group. My ates are all above 60 years and some on their 50s and I enjoy being the baby here. Every year we have a scheduled tour and this was my first time. I praise God for this group,a healthy group where is is no room for gossip and chika about people, its all about plants and I think thats a good example of a garden club.

The tour started out early in the morning and we arrived at Father Mier's dragon fruit farm with such welcome. With fresh fruits, kakanin of all sorts, fresh buko juice and dragon fruits and a lot more.  We learned a lot about the dragon fruit which the most common and edible cactus available, how to propagate and the care for this very healthy fruit. We thank Fr. Mier and company for hosting and giving us the warmest accommodation and the yummy treats would like to come back for more visits.

To make it more memorable we visited a cactus and succulents garden and viola cactus and succulents shopping was the goal and excited and enthusiastic with their finds. It was unexpected and the surprise was such that the garden was almost stripped off the prettiest collections.

The final destination, since it was the birthday of Gerry's mom, a sumptuous lunch was served with litchon and fresh desserts. Culminating the tour with visit and purchase of ornamental plants from Gerry's garden. We left with the bus almost crowded with the loots we got. Looking forward for more garden tours in the coming years with my ates.
