Over the years... 

 

Building management cut a neighboring tree.. destroying the landscape

 

 

decay is part of the design.. this include the cracked paving due to the fallen tree. grass creeping through the gaps.

the same frangipani tree replanted into a new pot. The same heliconia plants that was totally squash by the tree.. eventually regrow.

 

the rewards

 

 

What I learn.. Landscaping is a constant negotiation with nature.. A constant negotiation in between order vs. chaos.
