Japanese Truckers Are Planting Gardens In Their Trucks, And It’s Aesthetic AF
Kei trucks, or kei-tora, are small flatbed trucks that are generally used in the construction and landscape industry to transport supplies, but for the past couple of years they have been transforming into magical garden oases. The Kei Truck Garden Contest has been hosted for several years by the Japan Federation of Landscape Contractors at the Nagai Botanical Garden in Osaka, Japan.
Landscape artists from every prefecture come and compete to see who will create the most beautiful and elegant gardens, all on the back of their trucks! The trucks are judged on their planning, expression, design, execution, and environment. Regardless of the winners, each truck is its own masterpiece!
