hinoki

Hinoki false cypress is an evergreen conifer with attractive soft and
stringy reddish brown bark, and drooping flat frondlike branchlets
bearing small scalelike leaves. The main branches are dense and
spreading and may droop to the ground, and the sprays of foliage are
held in flat planes. In its native habitat, Hinoki false cypress can
get over 120 ft (36.6 m) tall with a trunk diameter of 6 ft (1.8 m),
but in cultivation the typical species is usually 50-60 ft (15.2-18.3
m) tall with a broadly conical crown that spreads about 20 ft (6.1 m)
or so.

edible urban party jungle (working title), jogja indonesia

we will work on the following gardens: jogja national museum, mes 56, Milas Cafe, and a generic rooftop mulch basket system, (bandung bookshop)

using permaculture principles to create gardens focusing on edible perennials and trees (both useful and support species) in a compact food forest garden type system

our working method will be open unstructured workshops and we will have a media centre which will both archive and generate relevent media (calendar)

we will establish an operations centre at Jogja National museum

extensive additional visual and background material is available at namaiki.com
