Blooms Avenue in Tagaytay

By January 9, 2013 Green, Travel 3 Comments

When in Tagaytay, I try to make the most out of my visit – One of the places we went to was the farm of my friend, Arlene Sanchez-Maslog!  This is the rest house of her Dad and Mom at the same time there is a farm for the plants of the Mom

Wow!! This is a serious hobby of my Arlene’s Mom!  As you enter, there are rows and rows of greenhouses!

And a beautiful rest house to stay in during the weekends! Arlene is an architect and interior designer, and she did this for her parents!!
