"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now," goes the Chinese proverb.

Artist Shia Yih Yiing's Planting Dreams: In Search Of A Good Gardener, a project that combines artistic ecological research and collaborative art-making, best reflects the spirit of the proverb.
