  About Tim & Esther  


Hello and Thank You for Visiting!

We are Esther and Tim. We are both plant and flower enthusiasts. Both of us used to be avid gardeners since we were small. Today, we are married and living in a small apartment, where we don't have much space to do any gardening. So the next best thing for us to take our love for plants and flowers and put them online, where we not only get to enjoy them every day, but also share them with plant and flower enthusiasts all over the world. Together we have created a number of websites which we would love to share with you. Our websites reflect our interests, especially in gardening and travel. Both of these interests have spawned a good number of websites that have kept the both of us well occupied, and thoroughly enjoying ourselves.
