Arid and Semi-arid Landscaping: Home Gardening

A temple tree, jasmine, a coconut tree, roses, and six varieties of hibiscus, are in full bloom in a home garden in Dubai, which don’t grow in the desert environment normally.  Thanks to the "Breathable Sand" technology, water is saved and also plants grow healther.

* A collaborative partnership between South Africa’s Dake Group and the Rechsand Technology Group from China was formed.  The sand was partially donated from China, and the shipping and construction costs were covered by the Dake group.  A common goal on the need for new sustainable technologies enables this collaboration. 

* Traning is needed even for small projects since this is a completely new technology for the region.  An engineer from China has traveled to the site to ensure the correct installation.
