About Wan Chai Planting Crew

In 2022, we will continue to learn about the community through planting, and explore the significance of plants to the concrete jungle.

Walking up a small slope in the Star Street Precinct, we looked back and discovered a stunning scene at the rooftop of the refuse station – countless potted plants gathered one by one by street cleaners from the district. May Jei, a former kaifong of Lee Tung Street, said, “when our living space in Hong Kong gets tighter and tighter, gardening becomes a luxury. Community plants are all about breathing spaces in urban life. Thanks to the kaifongs who have been taking care of them, for they each narrate the story of our city.
