Vertical gardens at Megamall near the supermarket

BE a BIDDA: "BELIEVE, INSPIRE, DREAM, DO ACHIEVE"



Angono, Rizal Philippines October 4, 2014

There is a new vertical garden at the San Miguel Avenue, back of Megamall, near the elevated parking lot, adjacent to the boundary of MegaMall and Shang.  It is about 3 x 10 meters.  It is anchored on the wall, and the planting medium is steel wire mesh. The planters in plastic bags are held together by net and sewn by wire to the wire mesh.

The plants are planted according to type and massed in rows, like all ferns, lilies,  all copea etc.  They look nice, dont they?

Are we benchmarking this vertical garden?

             See that all plants are in original plastic bags


                         The plastic bags are held by wires and net


      The wire mesh are held by dowels sunk into the fence

Some New Ideas at Bangkok Thailand

Some interesting views at Shangrila


"I listen and I forget, I see and remember, I experience and I understand" - a Chinese proverb

My recent trip to Thailand brought forth a number of new ideas that we can benchmark.

MGB, GCH.  May I meet you next week and come out with  a program of action to implement:

                                    A waterfalls with smooth marble, granite top


                                     Floor lamp


                                  Large floating quiapo leaf


                                     Lotus floating


                                       Rapiz as nice interior decor


                                 Old plate ware;  note what kalachuchi flower can do?

At the Buddhist Temples

 Old Kalachuchi tree

                    Lei and fodder for the cows



               More Leis
                       Can these inspire us to pin flowers on the grieving family?







                 Lotus flowers
                    Food offering fot  Buddha
