According to Chengdu-based The Cover, community gardener Yang Guangting has been creating his own artwork for the past three years. /Photo from the Cover

Without any training in art or design, Yang bases his creations on what he sees in life, including the Great Wall, palaces, dragons, lotus and fish. /Photo from the Cover

Yang says it usually takes two to three workers about three hours to make one piece, which could be blown away easily by strong winds. But he still enjoys making patterns to entertain local residents. /Photo from the Cover
