In Guilin City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, there is a distinctive patio garden of about 10 square meters with ancient Chinese porcelains paired with plants. It took the owner of the garden, Tianyi, two years to find her own gardening style after saying goodbye to many different plant species. During her farewell to her beloved pet dog and the arrival of a new life, the garden heals her and gives her strength.

About 'Oh! My Greens'

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.
