Living in the city has always had its perks. From the bustling economy, a wide range of shopping malls to choose from to the sleepless rendezvous. However, there are moments where you’d be telling yourself that you need a breather! With countless rooms for opportunities, the metro has its dark, looming side—air pollution.

How can you escape this impending health hazard? With plants. of course! Plants have an innate powerful ability to cleanse air of the harmful substances, particularly carbon dioxide. The more plants the better of course! Apart from cleaning the air that we breathe, plants also exude a calming and refreshing ambience. Studies also show that indulging your peepers in anything green is a form of relaxation.

We realize that we are surrounded by massive buildings and edifices in the metro, so how can we introduce more greeneries into our homes and environment? Let’s look to PHSI for answers.


The Philippine horticultural society Inc or PHSI is a non-profit organization consisting of plant lovers whose advocacy is to spread , once again, the enthusiasm for plants . Some of the organization’s mission is to promote the preservation and conservation of native plant species, to promote awareness and appreciation of plant life and to promote affiliation with international plant communities. With the efforts of the PHSI, the metro will hopefully breathe fresher air again. It can always begin in our own homes and communities! In line with this advocacy, the PHSI will be holding a “grand greenery event ” on February 2018!

On Feb 2-11, a massive greenery festival will showcase their own endemic, and hybrid plants. Celebrated annually, the Horikultura Filipina 2018 will also showcase several gardening and horticultural practices in Manila. If you are just aching to grow out your own lush garden in your homes but don’t know how to, then this is the perfect event for you!
As per the organization, you need not be a plant expert or one with the so called “green thumb” to cultivate your own garden. You just need to know the basic knows and how’s.
