Gardening is increasingly becoming a luxury for the younger generation. As more people move to small apartments in the city, having a plot of land to cultivate and play around with isn't really an option. However, as these Japanese landscapers prove, with a little creativity and imagination anything is possible!
The annual Kei Truck Garden Contest, held by the Japan Federation of Landscape Contractors, brings gardens to the people. Kei Trucks are tiny flatbed trucks that are commonly used in the construction and landscaping industries in Japan. Every year, landscapers from across the country bring their trusty vehicles together and set to work creating amazing and whimsical little gardens in the cargo hold, to see who can take the title of best mobile landscaper.
These little slices of mobile natural beauty incorporate many different forms of design, from the tradiotional Japanese garden to more modern elements, using lighting and even water features to create unbelieveably intricate scenes in a tiny, and totally unexpected space.
So perhaps if you would like a garden but didn't think you had the space, you could take inspiration from these guys and create yourself a pop-up garden. Scroll down to check the landscapers work out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

In the nicest possible way... I hate these people. I can't even look after a pot plant and they can make a rusty truck like a natural paradise!!! Wonderful talent!!
I feel the same way. I compensate by telling myself that those are some ugly damn trucks.
Serious...does Japan have a zen moss making machine we don’t know about?
if I had these parked outside my house i would be in heaven - I dont drive but looking at these I am tempted to buy an old truck and a parking permit to make a garden
it would be cheaper than moving house
