Roof Gardens

Thailand has turned most of their taxis into rooftop gardens; in fact they have 2500 taxi rooftop gardens and only 500 regular taxis.

The gardens begin with black plastic garbage bags stretched across bamboo frames. On top is soil in which a variety of crops, including tomatoes, cucumbers and string beans, were planted.

The Thai economy is in tough shape, especially the taxi economy. One executive says, “The vegetable garden is both an act of protest and a way to feed my staff during this tough time. Thailand went through political turmoil for many years, and a great flood in 2011, but business was never this terrible.”
