Third Garden Review: Roma Botanica Garden

Roma Botanica Garden

I'm pretty sure everyone have passed and seen this place everyday, this is the garden in front of Roma Botanica Cafe, well at least it looks like a garden. Er.... to anyone who happen to like this view, i'm gonna write this with no intention of offense, since it is just my personal opinion. I'm just gonna say that this garden looks BAD and there could be hundreds of ways to improve it.

Here are some reasons why I think it's bad:

1) Notice the garden bed, it looks drastically empty and the plant species used is only two.

2) The garden could be used more for a park for skateboarding or something else, the tree's practically kills that usage. (well except if they are trying to practice riding in zig-zag)

3) There's no object or sculptures that could gain more attraction to help the look of the garden (since the plants aren't eye catching... they should have these objects)

BUT, then again there might be a couple of reasons for them not to improve it. such as:

1) They don't have the fund to improve it

2) It's not their garden, maybe it belongs to the GE Capital building (not sure x_x!)

3) They can't find any good reason on why they should improve the gardens

IF the reasons is 1-2 then I can't actually blame anything for it, however if it's reason number 3 than they really have a wrong idea, because I think by having a good garden view for a business in a cafe, is a good idea. The novelty of sipping a cup of tea or coffee while seeing a flora scenery is a relaxing way for most people, especially for someone who's feeling tired.

One of the ways they could improve is maybe by planting aromatic plants like the plants that belong to Rutaceae family, or maybe by planting succulents. I'm pretty sure there are still a lot of ways that you could think of on how to improve this garden.

That's all for my second review - Justin H Kusnandar
