Horticulture and Gardening in Nanning Guangxi China


Everywhere you look around the city of Nanning you will find, if you look very carefully some excellent gardens, planting arrangements, displays or sometimes just a single plant strategically placed for best advantage.
Large and small, municipal or private. All showing dedication and enthusiasm making Nanning a truly wonderful horticultural delight and fully justified in calling itself - The Garden City.
Around every corner there is likely to be an area or a small courtyard or even a balcony bristling with plants. Thereby making every journey an exciting prospect if you are of the horticultural persuasion.
There are many markets selling Gardening products and as you can see from the photograph, if its Cactus you want then look no further. Just one of many small independent sellers.

I will, over the coming weeks try to put together some information including photographs and video in the hope of conveying some of the quite amazing plants growing here and of the horticultural infrastructure that not only is inspiring me but surely is encouraging both old and young here of the true value of a - Green City.

In addition as I discover more about the gardens of China I will post any appropriate information as I find it.
