Tanaw's Rooftop Garden

"Ma'am, you can go up to the rooftop garden if you want," the room attendant said after ushering us into our room. "You just take the stairs to the fourth floor, and it's there," he continued. "Oh wow, thank you. I'd love to!" I replied, obviously delighted. It wasn't our first time in that guesthouse, so he was already quite familiar with us.

After a short rest, Yongi and I decided to go up and check it out. We were already wowed by the sight, even before we entered the door.

I mean, wow! Just wow!

Lots of potted ferns hanging on the ceiling, some on the floor too. Tall green plants are almost everywhere, carefully arranged in spots where they were meant to be. Climbers sort of camouflaged the posts.

I honestly didn't know which to photograph first. "Oh wow... my gosh, wow..." I kept saying, totally amazed. Manong should have told us about this place the first time we came!

Well, I let Yongi enjoy the hanging cradle (and the swing too). The garden is on an enclosed floor, by the way (I initially expected it to be on an open top floor). We were there around 5 pm, and we watched the sunset through the windows.

There are sitting areas, a couple of dining tables, and such. When we met the owner, she mentioned she loves gardening, and she sure does! We have not seen any flowers, though. She must be drawn more to green plants.

We sat there for quite a while, taking in as much oxygen as we could, admiring the setup, and wondering how they maintain such a garden. Tried a panorama shot of the whole place, but this photo doesn't show everything.

I also had fun taking some reflection shots which I previously shared.

Anyway, when we checked out, I mentioned to the receptionist how I loved the rooftop garden, and she smiled, saying it is a favorite among their guests. Some couples also hire it for their prenuptial photography.

Well, it's a lovely, welcoming space, and meant to be enjoyed.
