Branching out in Communities
Resembling a large garden for its residents, the Garden Estate is comprised of Phases 1 and 2. Phase 1 consists of seven residential blocks named after flowers, while Phase 2 has five blocks named after birds, and therefore once dubbed "Seven Flowers and Five Birds".
Built by the Hong Kong Housing Society in the 1960s, the Garden Estate is the first public housing estate in Kwun Tong. In the 1980s, Phase 1 was redeveloped into the current Jade Lotus Towers and redevelopment of Phase 2 will commence in 2026/27 at the earliest.
There is a remarkable Indian Banyan tree planted near the playground in Phase 2 of the estate. Over the past decades, the tree has witnessed changes of the residents, from newly-wed couples to three-generation households. As redevelopment is about to commence, the residents take stock of their precious memories, recounting how the constant presence of the tree is woven into the fabric of everyday life.
Trees are like amiable friends in our neighbourhood, not because they can talk to us, but because they quietly stay in their places, watching the residents and the community grows.

My Dear Tree
"Dear Tree, how are you doing?"
A simple greeting, a caring sentiment. To encourage people to pay more attention to the trees around us, illustrator Connie (Maoshan) set up a mailbox for Hong Kong's trees on a social media platform, collecting letters written to the trees, and then illustrating them.
Her illustrations are often not just about a tree, but focus on the relationship between trees and people, and the community. Therefore, trees are also an important element in maps she draws of the community, hoping to make people rethink the importance of trees and the complex relationships between trees, people, communities, and urban development.

During school, she became fascinated by tree climbing and met a group of like-minded friends. This experience initiated the idea of becoming an arborist, also known as a "tree doctor", and tree climber. It is with the encouragement and guidance of her teachers that she is determined to fulfill her dream step by step.

The Hymn of Forest
“You can hear the song of trees in the forest,” said Wyee, a bassoonist who loves nature and believes that people living in the city often overlook the messages from Mother Nature. Her dream is to hold a concert in the woods in which the audience can listen carefully to the sounds of nature.
Wyee wants to know more about trees, so she joins the Forest Guards established by a green group. Kami and Pui-sze, founders of the Forest Guards, have been working on tree conservation for years. They have hit various nature trails and planted numerous seedlings in the countryside. However, their concerted efforts would be wasted overnight due to devastating wildfires.
