Landscaping

I have always admired all the beautiful sims perfectly landscaped and tried to do my best with my place, the Retreat.

Although I retired from my teaching job in real life, I eventually returned as a substitute. This left me less time again to spend in Second Life. When I was asked to landscape a sim by a long-time friend I said yes.

It is satisfying and relaxing to create a place you have visions of. I love all the creativity involved. I spent a weekend creating this for the sim's owners, and I must say it turned out really beautiful.

Hopefully, the owner will let other residents give them the chance to visit and see it.

There are so many fantastic creators who design flowers, trees, grasses and so much more. I love it and my inventory is full of many many items.

In real life, I like to collect seeds, plant them, and see what grows. Sometimes, it is a success, and sometimes, it fails, but it is lovely to watch the progress.

Here is Secong life you can just delete the items and start all over again without any effort. The result is kind of the same. On the other hand, a garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.

Go out there and plant something , you can practice here in Second Life.
