"We're hoping to work together and really walk together hand in hand into the future, and promote biodiversity, promote cleaner, greener, healthier living environment for our kids and for our grandkids," said Clare Hart, vice mayor of Montpellier, France, at the International Horticultural Exhibition 2024 Chengdu in the capital of SW China's Sichuan Province.

The World Horticultural Expo opened in late April, and will last until Oct. 28. With a kaleidoscope of horticultural technologies and garden arts from home and abroad showcased during the event, it offers a comprehensive and on-site "101 handbook" for gardening devotees worldwide. The Montpellier garden is one of the diverse international gardening aesthetics at the Expo.
