LITTLE GREEN GARDEN

Near our house there is this little garden with small chalet. Few days ago I was passing by and saw this man inside, sitting there and just enjoying... I told him that I found his garden very nice, especially now when is so rare in Zagreb to see someone gardening. Usually people don`t have time, energy or they don`t have - garden.

Mr. Marijan Kohout worked as a professor of kinesiology, and now he is a pensioner. 'I have this garden for already 12 years. I grow different vegetables and fruits and I enjoy very much here. It`s so beautiful when you are in the nature and when you can eat your own food. The taste of naturally grown vegetables and fruits is so good', he told me with the smile on his face.

Mr. Marijan told me that is very important to stay connected with the nature and to take care of our bodies. 'Be active because, remember, how you treat your body when you are young, that`s how it`s going to 'work' in the old days'. So Inspirational!
