Leaves are falling from the trees after a strong cold wave, but a vibrant garden with colorful flowers hides in one of the ordinary communities in Beijing. 

Kouzi had no experience in the field when he started building his terrace garden. To make sure his tropical plants survive Beijing's winter, he only uses potted plants, which are easy to move inside the house when needed. However, building a garden like this one is no easy task.

About 'Oh! My Greens'

What is a garden? It is a utopia that carries our dreams for a better life. It is an art that reflects our understanding of beauty. It restores our connection with the land. But is that all? 

In this series, Liang Si, a photographer who fell in love with plants, visits 100 people living with plants to explore why people garden, how to garden and the stories behind gardens.
