Inspiring: Ng Cheow Kheng's HDB flat in Bishan has a patio garden. A gardening enthusiast, his flat is one of the rare 52 units in Singapore that has this special, open area. He's filled it with orchids, bird’s nest fern, tall-growing ornamental, palm and fruit trees, rose bushes, bamboo and an interesting bauhinia vine. A dwarf banana plant produces fruits. Mr Ng’s pride and joy is his six-year-old chiku tree grown in a large pot that never fails to have fruits. These fruits attract fruit bats (this would horrify me) despite the precarious location on the 23rd storey. Mr Ng is a member of Community in Bloom, NParks.
This is amazing. He is obviously a true blue, die hard plant/tree lover. He just cares about how healthy the plants are - not so much how it looks aesthetically. I like how the plants are placed in an anyhow manner. :)

ReplyDeleteDear Rossie: I think it's a beautiful garden, and yes, the plants look well kept. I'm green with envy. Dear Anon 1: Not that strange, I think; in fact, quite common? Dear Anon 2: Plants need not mean mossies - only stagnant water.
