It's time to de-stress or unwind after a stressful week at work or at school. You may have been to the beach previously or you have been out with friends sipping milkteas at the mall. So why not try to get out in the city for a while, smell the flowers and spent a few silent moments with nature.

Everyone's doing it, so why don't you? I mean, who doesn't know about this place? Ever since the place went viral on the internet five years ago, it would be a disappointment if this is not part of your bucket list to visit. Your Cebu visit won't be as exciting as it should be if this place is not included. Millennials today happen to be a generation of "pics-or-it-didn't-happen" and even the grown-ups are adapting to it. The Internet has this wonderful magic of spreading information, photos, and experiences like wildfire so why not join the wagon?

See the flowers for inspiration. Stressful city life may drain our daily energies and it is just natural for human beings to find ways to recharge and inspire again for another round of life-hustles. Visiting a flower garden can do wonders for you. The 1.2-hectares of sloping terrain are covered with dozens of flower species. The most dominant is the colorful celosia flowers or commonly called "wool flowers". Hues of red, orange, yellow, and purple are present here. They even grow huge sunflowers, which make you feel perked up under the sun. Surrounded by beautiful and colorful flowers are good for your soul. It wakes up the sleeping you within, it made you even grateful about life and what the future may bring.

Be one with nature. It is common knowledge that being with nature has health benefits; it lowers blood pressure, fresh air here is quite good for our lungs, strolling around the garden provides good exercise on our legs --- for me, it just makes me happy. Just sitting on a bench and enjoying the scenery makes me happy and stress-free. The Busay -Balamban green scenery gives a perfect backdrop for the blooming flowers. Locals here offer fresh fruits, drinks, and food for the tourists. These are all fresh from their farms. Oh, I how I love the boiled sweet corn here. Entrepreneurs here lined up in front of the Litte Amsterdam and I can see that the place provides income to locals here.

The gardener in you, wake up! Be sure to visit a lot of flower gardens in your lifetime, it could wake up the little gardener in you. Some people find flowers fascinating. Visiting Sirao Garden may unleash your strong desire to make a garden and nurture precious flowers on your own. I mean, who among us are not plantitos or plantitas? You might get fascinated by the blooming chrysanthemum, the charm of begonia flowers, marigolds, different colors of forget-me-nots, and many more. They are just pleasing to the eyes that your soul wants to praise the Lord for the gift of life.
