The Hanging Garden of Anghel Zeicu
As green spaces are more and more scarce around here, a Romanian man from Resita solved his needs in a different way. He developed his personal "hanging garden": a green oasis on the roof of the apartment building where he lives. His name is Anghel Zeicu and he's 79 years old.
Nevertheless, age doesn't count when one has a dream. The man brought fertile soil from the outskirts of the city and started growing his unique garden. "First I filled my balcony with flowers. When there was no more space in the balcony, I went on the roof, where I arranged a garden. I fixed a trailer onto my bicycle and brought soil from Sura. I have everything I need here. Flowers, vegetables, even vines and sunflowers, "said the lovely retired old man.
His hanging garden was designed in the smallest detail. "When I started, I had to solve the crucial water issue first. I had to find a way to avoid overconsumption of tap water. I made some metal spouts and directed them to one big 500 litres barrel which collects all the rain that I now use to water my garden." says Anghel Zeicu
In the short videos, he also explains that tomatoes should have already been ripen and that he no longer rides the bike so often because of his age.

Wow! i would love to do this once I retire!
It’s a great thing to do, especially if you live in a polluted city. Fresh and clean air at your fingertips
Awesome
I love the idea, and the fact that he just fulfilled his dream, without asking for help or permission. Just doing it. We should all live like that.
Daniel, see Scandinavian Green Roof for some great other projects. You might be even interested in seeing some as they’re not far from you.
Thanks for the link! I don’t know of any projects nearby, but on the other hand green roofs would actually be a little overkill in little Lund, which has more trees than houses
that is so cool! it looks brilliant. Like Apu’s garden above the Kwik-E-Mart in the Simpsons!

haha brilliant! where Paul McCartney was.
Wow, that’s an awesome work! How long does the maker do for this hanging garden? It surely looks great! Though it needs more garden furniture I guess

That’s a nice view, Adela. Is it your garden? I never smart at arranging my own garden. Do you have manual or tutorial books? Since I want to try gardening now.

Wow, this garden looks amazing! He sure had a lot to work get it in this stage. It’s all worth it when you are a passionate gardener though, it’s a rewarding activity. I know i love to take care of my rose bushes, no matter how tired i feel, i always choose to spend my free time gardening.
This is so amazing. How can you afford such beautiful garden? How long have you been planting those plants till they grow such thick. Really awesome.
