CHAPTER 2

INFLUENCES

Subsection

My relationship to plants begin in childhood. From the earliest age I can  remember, I played in the small garden on the balcony of my apartment in Taipei city. My grandfather also had a garden at his house in the countryside. He loved to take care of plants. Both my father and I inherited my grandfather’s passion for plants. Such a variety of plants in the house taught me how to care for different species of plants. I still love to keep plants and observe how they look every day. When I look at all of my lush green plants, I feel relaxed. To me, plants are part of my life. These plants feels like friends.

After I graduated from college, I came to New York City to earn my masters degree. I currently live with three roommates in a nice apartment where lots of sunshine comes in through big windows. My roommates and I all bought plenty of potted plants. Unfortunately,  none of the plants that my roommates bought lived for long. My roommates didn’t know how to properly care for their plants and they thought it would be easy. Once the plants began to look sick and dead, they threw them out. I did give them some suggestion when I saw they were not treating their plants well. But they didn’t care. I also found lots of potted plants thrown out on the street. I felt sad when I realized their  negligence towards plants.
