Mei Lin lives high up in a tall building in Shanghai, a big and busy city in China. Her home has a tiny balcony — just enough space to stand. But Mei had a big idea. She wanted to turn that little space into a garden full of life and color.
Now, when you step onto her balcony, it’s like entering a secret garden in the sky. There are green plants everywhere — on the floor, hanging from the walls, and even in old bowls she reused as pots!
How It All Started
One day, a friend gave Mei a little basil plant. It started to die, and Mei didn’t want to lose it. So she looked up how to take care of it. Slowly, she learned how to help plants grow. That one little plant started it all!
She began to grow more and more plants, using old things like noodle bowls and jars. Mei saw that even a small space could be full of green if she used her imagination
Mei’s Two Lives
During the day, Mei wears business clothes and works at a tech company. She talks to people, writes emails, and sits at her computer. But when she comes home, she becomes someone else — a plant lover and video creator.
She shares her plant tips and fun gardening ideas on social media. Many people follow her to learn how to take care of plants and live a green lifestyle.
Green Living, Every Day
Mei cares about the Earth. She tries to waste less and reuse more. She makes her own compost using food scraps and doesn’t use plastic when she shops.
She believes you don’t need a big house or a garden to help the planet — you just need to care and try. Mei says, “Plants teach us to slow down. They show us how to care.”
Smart and Creative
Mei went to a university in Shanghai. She studied Environmental Studies and also learned about media and communication. That’s why she knows how to teach others in a fun and easy way.
She uses her education to help people learn about plants, the Earth, and how to live in a green way.
Mei Inspires the World
Now, thousands of people watch Mei’s videos and read her tips. Kids, adults, and families from many countries say she helped them start their first plant.
One person grew herbs in a teacup. Another made a mini garden in a window box. All because of Mei. She says, “No space is too small to make a difference.”
Mei’s Day in Simple Moments
- Morning: Mei drinks jasmine tea, sprays her plants, and goes to work.
- Evening: She takes care of her plants, edits videos, and answers plant questions from followers.
- Weekends: She visits markets to buy cheap herbs and makes videos to help others learn.
