Gardening is a budding market
As urbanization speeds up in China, people are finding themselves further and further away from nature. But along with growing awareness of low-carbon lifestyles, food safety and environment protection, more people are getting into gardening at home, whether it's tending a few pots or a larger balcony garden.
Waste not, want not
The upcoming weekend will witness a huge party celebrating eco-friendly lifestyles at the Cool Docks. The annual Eco Design Fair is this time being staged under the theme of waste reduction and will feature green products and ideas covering fashion, energy, well-being, home, gardening, transport and food.

Not only are they extremely low maintenance, moss terrariums are like a magical little forest that you can bring inside your home or office.
