Along one of the main roads leading to Tagaytay is this charming green patch of land decorated with small flower-shaped windmills and twirling, handcrafted wood hangings that would stop any plant/veggie/plant-loving hippie in his/her tracks. Country Market offers all sorts of plants, vegetable seedlings and herbs that you can replant on your own gardens back in the city (and hopefully not end up murdering). I stopped by here to purchase a gotu kola plant, as well as an arugula seedlings when I was still delusional enough to think that I have a green thumb.
