Crazy man's Garden

One man revealed the pleasure he derived from gardening and his accomplishments, especially emphasising the social aspects,
 ' Last summer I packed into a flower bed at my front garden tobacco plants, petunias.... there was not an inch of soil to be seen by mid June and the results were most rewarding in a round bed measuring 12 foot across. I had packed in 200 plants with enormous success. It was a bed of colour and I could see passersby admiring it. . . . I have always tried to produce a colourful garden for passers by to enjoy, one that attracts their attention. . . . my front garden has been my showpiece, whilst my back garden has been my workplace' 
I am here to translate his dream into reality ,the image that he has in his mind, the colours of it, variations, moods and the setting created by the constructed green.
