Germination

        We see the process of germination all around us. Every Spring season, we celebrate it with nature. Throughout the winter, we are more or less surrounded by dry, leafless nature, which sometimes appears lifeless. But as soon as the weather gets a little warmer or the earth gets showers of rain, tiny buds appear on plants. Suddenly hills get covered with lush green grass and wildflowers. All the seeds hiding in the dirt begin to germinate into new life. 

        It is incredible how a tiny seed has all the information about the plant stored in it. Its species, size, shape, and time it will take to grow and mature; everything is engraved in the seed. It will have information about the size, shape, color, and fragrance of the plant's leaves, flowers, and fruits. 

        A tiny seed that appears dry and dead is, in fact, in a dormant state. With the right surrounding conditions, it can sprout and germinate. It is capable of starting a new life and flourishing into a full-grown plant or a tree.

        Our thoughts are just like seeds. A small spark of an idea, an abstract concept... It has the potential of forming into a reality, getting a physical form. Our knowledge and persistent efforts can provide the required food for our thoughts to come into existence.

        Just like watching a seed grow into a beautiful plant, the creative process of designing landscape spaces fascinates me. As a landscape designer, I enjoy converting my ideas into landscape designs. By providing nourishment like research, analysis, problem-solving and technical knowledge to my thoughts, I create outdoor spaces to become part of people's life.
