What is the succulent museum that 108-year-old American grandmother spent 40 years building?

Follow nature, life has no limits.

California sunshine,

You can't keep your eyes open,

Hot, dry weather,

That leaves little green here.

But there is a garden,

Evergreen all the year round.

If you accidentally intrude,

You'll think you're in the plant kingdom.

Named after Mrs. Ruth Bancroft, it was the first private garden to be sponsored and protected by the American Garden Conservancy, and in 2011, Pacific Horticulture magazine named it "the most significant private garden on the West Coast of the United States."

In this 3.5 acre garden,

More than 2000 species of trees of all sizes,

cacti, succulents, palm trees, etc of various shapes

Desert plants.

When one minute you think,

When you fall into a barren desert,

This lovely, lively garden

As if enchanted,

He quietly appeared in front of her.

Before each plant,

are marked with instructions and descriptions,

Too late to read them one by one,

Hundreds of plants,

I'm afraid it'll take a day,

Or finish it.

The owner of the garden is Mrs. Ruth,

The 108-year-old girl

Still stuck here every day,

To spend the rest of his life,

Accompanying these flowers,

Take it slow.

8:00 a. M.,

Ruth appeared in the garden on time.

Design, plant, irrigate,

Big and small jobs are done by themselves,

Until sunset.

This one does,

40 years.

Mrs Ruth didn't think either,

He actually had such great achievements now:

Desert plants save water and are beautiful,

For arid California,

It has extraordinary significance.

Everything,

Thank you for your persistence in this life.

So,

Mrs. Ruth started growing desert plants.

She's been to all the flower centers in America.

Find as many seeds as possible,

Every time I go out,

And I'm gonna come home loaded.

If you see a scarce variety,

She's like a treasure,

Take it home and plant it immediately.

But because of the scarcity of varieties,

Mrs Ruth was unfamiliar with the characteristics of these plants,

So every planting step is a pilot experiment,

After searching through several botanical books,

She dared to plant it carefully.

And take notes day by day,

recording the growth of plants.

Sometimes weather changes,

She'll also defend herself in advance,

To protect these plants.

And indulged in this strange plant kingdom.

Now, Mrs. Ruth,

Still living in the '50s style of the main house,

More than 4500 botanical books are hidden in the house,

Every day after reading,

Through the window,

You can see the world of plants.

Madame Ruth laughed and said,

"Somehow it's 100 years old,

I just feel like my strength is not as good as before."

But people look at her.

Go to the bedroom on the second floor and

Without any effort.

A lifetime of nature,

Half my life guarding the garden,

The plant in her hand,

Full, fresh,

Full of life.

Comply with nature,

Into nature,

Maybe it's the law of longevity.
