This database features hundreds of short videos about Hong Kong’s fascinating diversity of trees and other plants. Here, we focus on how plants are used functionally in a design sense, how they naturally populate the landscape and how they contribute to the local ecology, rather than studying them from a strictly botanical point of view.
The Digital Arboretum offers a wealth of information and engaging commentaries recorded out in the field in Hong Kong’s disparate urban and rural landscapes, serving as a platform for viewers to explore and fall in love with the treasure trove of the city’s arboricultural and horticultural wonders.
