Plant breeder Chandra Hendarto aimed to create an ecosystem in the space around his house to welcome in visiting wildlife. He was especially keen to attract dragonflies, which he says are a good indicator of a healthy ecosystem. There are now lots of dragonflies in his lush, naturalistic garden, which features a swimming pool that sits alongside fishponds and a waterfall surrounded by dense, tropical foliage and tall trees.

While his garden is large, he says even if you only have a few square metres, it’s possible to contribute oxygen to the world by adding a few plants.

He says the garden has changed his life.
