Innovative fencing!

While trekking in Cameron highlands last year, we came across this Indian household located at the entrance to one of the jungle trails. What impressed us the most was the innovative use of 100% natural, biodegradable materials for décor and fencing!

Palm leaves were split down the middle and the adjacent leaflets weaved into a lattice like structure

Smaller ‘fronds’ were stuck in the ground directly

    Could be good for CIB gardens in S’pore to psychologically define the garden and deter theft/vandalism through clear indication that someone is looking after it. Better than chainlink fence visually.

    One slight prob - our coconut trees will start to look like Army boys!
