Essential Gardening Tips for Beginners
(Updated Version)
Congrats
on taking the first step toward gardening (GARDENING TIPS FOR BEGINNERS). Whether you're working with a small
patch or a larger plot, it’s always exciting to start your own garden. After
cleaning up your plot, it’s time to dive into some essential gardening tips for
beginners. Let’s get started.
Define Your Garden's Concept
It’s helpful to have a rough idea of the concept or theme for your garden. If you’re still deciding, don’t worry. A clear concept will give you direction as you begin. For instance, my garden’s theme is Zen, which led me to incorporate bamboo plants, stones, and pebbles. You could also choose a modern, traditional, or minimalistic theme. Without a clear concept, you may be planting without direction, so it’s worth spending some time thinking about what resonates with you.

Nasi Ulam/Malaysian Herbed Rice Recipes - Vegetarian
Nasi
Ulam is our beloved Malay rice dish, also known as herbed rice. While simple
and easy to make, it’s all about gathering the right herbs. As a vegetarian and
vegan-friendly dish, you can adapt by using whatever herbs are
available - sometimes omitting certain ones is perfectly fine. After all, there
are various types of herbed rice, depending on the combination of herbs used.
However, the key difference lies in the herbs themselves.
At Nava’s Zen, where we grow all the
herbs, the experience of handpicking fresh herbs adds a special touch - perfect
for those passionate about urban gardening. There are three unique herbed rice
recipes to choose from, or you can try each one to see which suits your taste
best.
With its crunchy texture from the herbs and fragrant, flavorful rice, Nasi Ulam is truly yummlicious.

6 Key Components to Enhance Your Home Office Space
Creating an effective and comfortable home office
requires careful consideration of several key components. With the rise of
remote working, your home office has become more than just a temporary
workspace; it's a place where productivity, comfort, and technology intersect.
Here are six essential elements to consider for enhancing your home office
space.
Ergonomic
Furniture
The cornerstone of any efficient home office is ergonomic furniture. This includes a chair that supports your back and promotes good posture, and a desk that is the right height to prevent strain. An ergonomic setup reduces the risk of work-related injuries and increases comfort, which can significantly boost productivity. For those long hours at the desk, consider a chair with adjustable lumbar support and a desk that allows for both sitting and standing positions. Remember, comfort in your workspace directly affects your work performance and overall health.
