Flower power inspires farmers to grow

Ding Jianhai landed a big opportunity last year when he was commissioned to replant the flower beds and lawns beside a pond in a local park. The only problem was he had no idea how to do it.

"I took on the project, but I wasn't actually sure what kind of flowers would be suitable for that environment, let alone how to make it prettier," said Ding, who runs a flower farm in Li'ao township, Zhejiang province.

Fortunately, Han Shiguo was able to help guide him through the task.
