Amidst the uncertainty and isolation during Covid-19, Eunice Quah, 48, was someone who found purpose and joy in transforming the lawn of her family home into a lush oasis of greenery and life.

Her garden boasts an extensive selection, including seven varieties of mint, three types of sweet potato, and 40 different flowers, with 19 of them edible.
