park gardens

You are perhaps thinking flowers and nice bushes when I mention park gardens, but in Taiwan there is a trend of people in the neighborhood using their local park areas as their own little garden lots, as in they grow their own vegetables there. No joke.

Previously we have come across people using the separator (that originally had bushes and grass) that goes down the middle of the road to grow their vegetables in a residential area. Today we happened upon this set-up:

[Tending to their vegetables] 

[Note the wall...]

[They removed a section of the bushes on the wall separating the park from the side-walk to plant cabbage and other stuffs. Here you can also see more of the park-area.]

[Looks like it is for own consumption, as they seem to not be using pecticides]

It's not technically allowed, but it seems no-one really minds.

 Yet another reason I love Taiwan.
