TIL There are mini truck garden contests in Japan
The “kei” trucks are barely larger than city cars. The goal is to build the most aesthetically pleasing garden in the truck bed

@cypnk these are amazing
I went to a thai restaurant in NYC about a week ago that had a full sized maple tree tree growing through their back room - trunk was almost three feet (90 cm) across
@Satsuma There’s a charm to bringing full-size nature closer in that’s just not possible with anything artificial
There’s no proper substitute for an actual tree
@cypnk yeah especially somewhere like NYC where you more or less don’t see trees that large (I’m sure theres some in central park, and a few of the other larger parks, but not just found naturally) so it was far more surprising to see
The tree made an excellent dinner companion
