“Sketching a garden doesn’t always go well. I have to locate every single plant in my mind. Many times I have to repeatedly overturn my ideas,” said Ye Binbin.
Having worked three years on campus as a horticulturist, Ye Binbin has been engaged in many campus revitalization projects, turning rundown places into scenic landscapes.
As the only Asian campus nominated for best-looking campuses in the world, Tsinghua’s beauty can be attributed to our creative and hardworking landscape gardeners.
Gardening is not all about drawing sketches in the office, so Binbin also spends a lot of time outdoors working directly with the workers, with her hard work rewarded upon seeing her beautiful creations.
“I’m always happy and proud to see teachers and students walking through my ‘works’. Tsinghua University is rich in plant varieties and site types. There is great room for me to grow and I’m lucky to work in Tsinghua University.”
