Body and soul, there is always one on the way. In this era when everyone is clamoring for "dreams", few people actually take action to realize their dreams. But there are also people who give up the prosperity of the city and endure everyone's misunderstanding just to realize their dreams. Bowen, born in the 1990s, graduated from Shandong University. After graduation, he returned to Dali to build his own succulent garden. He now owns a 20-acre succulent garden and a 7,000-square-meter succulent inn.

Meet Succulent and fall in love at first sight

When I was a junior in college, I was thinking about what to do after graduation. Should I take the postgraduate entrance examination to continue my studies or go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to find a high-paying career? After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to start my own business.

This immature idea was naturally opposed by my family. But later, I spent a year conducting research, and with my persistence, my family finally agreed.

But I still haven’t figured out what to do specifically. Until one time when I was shopping with a friend to buy green plants, I was attracted by succulents at first glance. At that time, I came up with an idea, why not just raise succulents and do what I like!

Back home, prune the succulent garden

< p>After graduation, I returned to Dali and took over an aquatic plant nursery. Due to long-term neglect, the nursery is overgrown with weeds and the house is dilapidated.

To be honest, in the first few months, I also I haven't figured out how to deal with it. Later, looking at the empty nursery, I came up with the idea of building a succulent garden on the spot!

The nursery area is so large that it took several months just to clean up the weeds, and I felt sorry for my hands that were covered in blisters.

After clearing away the weeds, we began to dig up the soil and plant succulents in the fields. The abandoned nursery turned into something like the picture below.

Okay, I admit it looks more chaotic...

Because I just graduated and don’t have much money, I can’t buy too much succulent at once. I can only buy some of it first, raise meat and sell it at the same time, and save money little by little to build a succulent garden.

After the site was repaired, the construction of the flower bed in the garden officially began. In order to save money, I made all the succulent flower beds in the garden by myself.

I don’t have much money, so I have to do everything myself. I personally selected every brick and stone in the garden.

After the baptism of time, the flower bed has gradually become more substantial. A year later, can you still see its humble appearance?

Friends who raise succulent foods should know that succulent foods consume the most The money is the flowerpot. I also thought about many ways to solve the problem of flower pots, and finally decided to use tree stumps to make succulent landscapes, which saves money and is ornamental.

Each wooden pile needs to be polished for more than two weeks. No way, save money! But after growing succulents, I feel that all the hard work is worth it!

Meeting Duoshuo is accidental, meeting her is fate

How lucky a person must be to meet someone with similar interests. Meeting my girlfriend was as serendipitous and dramatic as my encounter with Succulent.

One day I suddenly had the urge to buy some succulents, but I met her on the side of the road and couldn’t get a taxi, so I accidentally gave her a ride.

While chatting along the way, I learned that she is a florist. She loves flowers, plants and succulents, and her dream is to ride horses and drink wine to the ends of the earth. I came to Dali just to travel and buy some meat with my friends.

After getting along several times, because of their common interests and mutual attraction, she chose to give up everything in Chengdu and stay in Dali.

With you, building a garden becomes fun

The construction work that was originally boring by one person became more interesting because of her joining.

She likes flower arrangements, and the arch of the succulent garden was designed by her novice of.

As her dark horse prince, of course I play the role of a flower and plant mover.

We took advantage of the topographic conditions of the original aquatic botanical garden, dug a pond and planted lotus flowers.

A year later, the pond was full of lotus leaves.

The open space next to the garden path is covered with green copper coins Grass.

Under her guidance, the succulent landscape has become more artistic.

The biggest surprise in Dali is that everything can be done She sourced materials from the local area, even the materials for her flower arrangements.

She is impatient and wants to solve everything quickly. The garden that was originally planned to be completed in one year only took three months.

Picking and picking has become a daily routine

Searching for old and succulent things has become a must-do for both of us every time we travel.

The collected clay pots are placed randomly on the ground to create a ground landscape.

It is a great blessing in life to turn a hobby into a career

After more than a year of construction, the succulent garden is getting bigger and bigger.

The Succulent Garden is located on the shore of Erhai Lake in Cangshan Mountain, and it has become A must-visit place for many tourists.

Watching visitors to the garden patting the succulents is the happiest thing for me.
