A Basin of Beauty
From our REHM Apartelle where we stayed for the night, instead of turning right back to the Tagaytay Rotonda / Tagaytay Junction, we went left to check out Ming’s Garden. It’s around 10-15 minute drive from REHM Apartelle, you will not miss it because of the large signage at the gate.
The Entrance
Ming's Garden, Tagaytay City
We entered and it’s a normal garden at first glance. But then I noticed its red soil, and a really big tree by the drive way.

I walked around and discovered these: A place that seems to be a lounging area where you can have coffee, there’s a little coffee shop inside. I ordered for choco-mocha frappe and downed it in front of the garden showroom beside the coffee shop.

Garden Showroom with hundreds of plants!
At first, I ordered coffee because I did not plan to buy plants, I just want to enjoy the beautiful sight of plants but Amrei and I ended up buying these plants to take home to Manila:
A total of 14 pots of plants
We were assisted by Ate Vicky, she gave us tips on what plants are best for our requirements. And Alex helped us get the plants and load them in the car. Alex has a cute Labrador dog named Redski, that’s 6 months old. Amrei played with her the whole time as I was enjoying my coffee from afar.
