And we think we have problems?

Came across this on another news group..........

52 and De La Salle School.

And the greenfingers behind this, is 48-year-old William Ng.

His love affair with plants began years ago and has literally bore fruit, from guavas to chikus!

In fact, his efforts have resulted in the sprawling 3-metre tall sunflower plant which at last count, had more than 40 flowers!

With a school just next door, the garden has also become an extension of the classroom. "When I was planting the tapioca, some students ask me, 'hey uncle, why are you burying the wood in the soil for what?' It makes me feel our younger generation, really needs to gain general knowledge about plants," said Mr Ng. But his garden won't be here for long.

The Hong Kah Town Council is asking Mr Ng to join the Resident's Committee's Gardening Club and to move his plants to the Club's plot of land about 500 metres away.

This, it said, is because individual residents cannot plant on public land.

But Mr Ng hopes some of the plants can stay.

"I'm worried that the plants when they're transferred to another place, some would die," he said.

There isn't a deadline to move just yet, but the Town Council said it will work closely with him to decide the fate of the plants."

Should we be supporting the man's foolishness?

The dude brought the problems upon himself.

He knew better than to plant on land that wasn't his.

He knew he was breaking the law but did it anyway.

He should have tried to set up a public garden from the beginning.
