I took this Rowan berry picture while walking to the grocery! - Photographed by Acik Mardhiyanti
Welcome back to Ichi's Garden! How have you been, it's been a while! I hope all of you are in good safe. Today I am going to share with all of you what I have found for the first 10 days after moving to Brussels. What? In Belgium?🤔
If you are following my blogs; Ichi's Garden, Ichi's Fusion Recipes, The Journey of Ichi Family, and Ichikraft Give and Care, You have noticed that I have decided to reduce or you could say, " I stop to write." The reason, I had been preparing myself for my further studies. Even I closed my online small business. Now you know that I chose to study in Belgium; as a Master's student at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).
I have been amazed since I arrived in Brussels as my first place to visit was my campus. There is a greeny view around my campus. Moreover, I have alway enjoyed my walk maybe going to the grocery store, buying food, or anything else because I have discovered flowers and trees that I have never seen before. Therefore, these are those plants!😉
1. Rowan Berry
While walking to the grocery nearby, I was fascinated by the abundance of red berries in front of me. Of course, those berries were planted on the side street; actually in the residence area. I was curious and googling for it then figured out the name of this certain berry; it is called Rowan Berry plant/ tree. You can see the picture that I took above!🙂
2. Hawthorn Berry

The second berry is still red berry! The name of it is the Hawthorn Berry tree/ plant. The first time saw it was around my campus. We can identify it by the shape of its leaf and the fruit. It is very tempting to pick them, isn't it? 😁
3. Spindle Berry

I saw this little cute berry near one of the VUB gates. At first, I was captivated by the red leaf there. It was a small tree and I bet It was just planted. Then when I got closer, WOW! it has a small flower I thought, but then it looked like a berry yet the shape was unusual. Curious...I have tried to find its name; the name is Spindle Berry!😎
4. Crab Apple

Wait a minute, is it apples? Yes and no, apple but Crab Apple!🤔 There are a lot of crabapple trees near my student housing. I wondered what kind of apple it that. They appear similar to apples yet small. Can we eat this kind of apple? You can try it if you want, however, I cannot guarantee the taste is as good as your favorite apple. These trees are planted on the street side just a few steps from my student housing. Therefore, during summer I could enjoy this view!😎
5. Elder Tree

I have always been curious whenever I see trees, or flowers that I have never seen before. That is the reason why I enjoyed during the walk and looked around me especially the trees and flowers that I have passed by. Even a tiny flower makes me excited including this black tiny berry!🤩 I took this picture near my campus. A lot of them, however, that time was windy so I was unable to take proper pictures. Moreover, the fruit was hanging above me.
Of course, I saw another redberry;

I bet there are still many kinds of berries in Belgium. I love to learn something new and one of them is to learn plants and flowers that I have never seen before. This is a good experience for me! 👍
