Imaginative Landscaping

People living in the urban areas with limited backyard spaces would oftentimes dream of living in the countryside area where they can have plenty of space for landscaping and gardening. Most of them are simply disgusted with the limited area their houses has for gardening. Because of this, most will tend to forget about gardening or improving their small yard. Thus, in many homes in the urban areas with limited spaces, you will find their small yards utilized mainly as dumping ground for their various worn out and old items. Sometimes they even use this as their garbage dump.
The concept here is totally wrong. Landscaping or having a beautiful garden can be yours even if you have just a small piece of land. I have a Chinese businessman friend who owns a building in a commercial district. Their store is on the first and second floor while their residence is on the third floor. His wife has been dreaming for years to have a house in the country side where she can do her gardening and landscaping. Since they cannot afford to buy a property yet outside of the city to afford his wife her dreams of having a garden, what he did was to convert the top portion of their building into a garden.
He constructed a platform with a plastic bottom and with a big plastic pipe running around the side. He then filled this platform with soil and planted it with various types of flowering plants. He also constructed a watering system using an automated sprinkler with the excess water from the soil running through the plastic pipe and out into a catch basin. When I visited them, they were so proud to let me see their roof top garden. I could not help myself from admiring their work. They have so many varieties of flowering plants in various colors. And their greeneries were such that I felt as if I was in the countryside and not in the center of the city humming with business activity.
This shows that if you let your imagination works for you, things that seem impossible to have can be yours if you will work for it. Like if you want to have a garden of your own and you only have a small space of land to utilize. By using your imagination, you would come to the conclusion that if you will plant small sized flower bearing plants and miniature shrubs coupled with several bonsai trees and throw in a bag of ornamental pebbles, you readily can create a good Japanese garden.
