In April 2025, he was invited to join the Asian Art Association Singapore (Horticulture and Landscape Design) and Asian Art Association Singapore (World Cultural Heritage Protection).

Born and raised in Flower City Canton—where blossoms grace every season, ever-green greenery endures year-round, and the renowned Spring Flower Fair draws acclaim at home and abroad—I have been immersed in a uniquely rich natural and cultural environment. Horticulture is woven into the very soul of every Cantonnese, myself included. To me, gardening is a devotional journey through the four seasons: far more than mere planting of vegetation, it is a ritual of deep communion with all living things and the cosmos.

I have been fortunate to work in the horticultural profession for twenty years. With birds and flowers as my brush and ink, I have painted a vibrant, unfolding panorama upon the earth—no static canvas, but a dynamic narrative co-authored with nature itself. From the perspective of artistic creation, horticulture also nourishes inspiration beyond the confines of the profession. It serves as a springboard for extending art into reflections on past times and spaces, giving rise to scholarly writings and articles. It likewise informs the production of equally dynamic music videos, where I provide professional insights to ensure each page and frame becomes a space where nature and culture intimately entwine.

Leveraging his professional skills and extensive experience, Borgart Lui’s horticultural works—rendered in a distinctive artistic style—are widely admired. His creations include: Classical-style gardens, such as the indoor exhibition garden “Yuyin Shanfang” at The Museum of Chinese Gardens and Landscape Architecture in Beijing; Rural revitalization projects, for example the restoration and redesign of the Liantang Ancient Village in Luogang, Canton; Urban park landscaping, including major plantings and landscape design at the Foshan Botanical Garden. Beyond horticulture, he has also made significant contributions in related fields. He served as the cultural-history consultant for the Southern Television documentary “Hundred Flowers Tomb”, which won the First Prize in Television Literature at the 2021 Guangdong Province Broadcasting & TV Program Awards.
