Because of our excellent plant care services we were asked to continue to provide our services, with a new plant design, at their new office space.

The Kei Truck, or kei-tora for short, is a tiny but practical vehicle that originated in Japan. Although these days it’s widely used throughout Asia and other parts of the world, in Japan you’ll often see them used in the construction and agriculture industries as they can maneuver through small side streets and easily park. And in a more recent turn of events, apparently they’re also used as a canvas for gardening contests.
The Kei Truck Garden Contest is an annual event sponsored by the Japan Federation of Landscape Contractors. Numerous landscaping contractors from around Japan participate by arriving on site with their mini trucks and then spending several hours transforming the cargo bed into a garden.
Other than using the kei truck there are very few limitations and landscapers have incorporated everything from benches and aquariums to elements of lighting into their designs. Judges then rank the entries based on planning, expression, design, execution and environment.
We’ve included a few of our favorite entries here but you can see more on the website of the Osaka branch, as well as this PDF from the Hanshin branch. (Syndicated from Spoon & Tamago)

While there are always going to be trends related to foliage, we’re seeing a lot of really cool, plants with insanely large foliage cropping up. “It started with Ficus lyrata a couple of years ago and helped propel Monstera deliciosa to its status as a houseplant super star,” says Hancock from The Spruce. “Now we’re seeing Strelitzia nicolai, Musa, and Thaumatophyllum as ‘It Plants.’” These plants are very interesting structurally — even more so than the classic monstera. “Extra-large leaves instantly add drama and presence to home décor and stand out on social media,” says Hancock.
