× When she was younger she usually planned a lot of flowers in her garden and now as she gets older she buy flowers every week and our house is always full of flowers.
✓ When she was younger she usually planted a lot of flowers in her garden and now as she gets older she buys flowers every week and our house is always full of flowers.
The verb 'buy' should be in the third person singular form 'buys' to agree with the singular subject 'she'. Also, 'planned' is incorrect here; the correct verb is 'planted' when referring to putting flowers in a garden.

✓ When she was younger she usually planted a lot of flowers in her garden and now as she gets older she buys flowers every week and our house is always full of flowers.
The verb 'planned' is incorrect in this context; the correct past tense verb is 'planted' when referring to putting flowers in a garden.

✓ No, as I live in Hanoi, which is a big city, uh, we don't have any chance to see flowers in gardens, so usually we have to buy flowers from flower shops or supermarkets.
The phrase 'the flowers in the garden' is too specific; 'flowers in gardens' is more general and appropriate here. Also, 'the flower shops or supermarket' should be pluralized to 'flower shops or supermarkets' to match the general meaning.
× But I usually buy flowers and my house is always full with colorful.
✓ But I usually buy flowers and my house is always full of color.
The phrase 'full with colorful' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'full of' and 'colorful' is an adjective, so it should be replaced with the noun 'color' to complete the phrase properly.
