Harmony Phase I Square is a place where residents often carry out various leisure activities, and there is an open space of about 150 square meters next to the square, which has been idle for many years and has more dust when it encounters windy weather.
This spring, during a visit to the community, it was suggested that the "hygiene competition" should be continued, beautifying the open space and planting flowers for residents to enjoy.
Guo Cui, secretary of the general party branch of Dawan North Road West Community, Heijiashan Street, said that most of the districts are old communities, and last year, the community carried out a series of activities of "health competition to promote improvement and competition to create a new trend of civilization" to advocate a healthy and civilized new life. The community mobilized residents to clean up the debris on balconies and corridors and do a good job of household hygiene. The "Youth Party Member Gang", Youth Service Team, and Women's Volunteer Team in the community help the elderly living alone and the families of people with reduced mobility to clean up, clean up garbage, and carry sundries. The community also invited the head of the housekeeping company to teach the residents tips such as housekeeping and clothing storage. These activities are well received by residents.

For this flower planting action, everyone was very enthusiastic, and more than 50 people participated in the news. The "Youth Party Member Gang", "Grandfather Group" and "Flower Group", which are composed of community workers, residents, and volunteers, will carry out the green planting action together. The vacant land is divided into 8 areas, and each of the 7 buildings and communities is planted with their own signs, which are responsible for watering, fertilizing, and weeding after planting.

Wang Zhiyao, an 82-year-old resident, participated in the day's green planting activities. The children followed the silver-haired grandfather to learn how to dig ditches, sow flower seeds, and how deep the soil should be buried. After the planting was completed, they put up a sign for Building 6 on the ground.
"I usually like to take care of flowers and plants, and now that I have this opportunity, my neighbors and I will definitely be able to manage this 'responsibility field' well and make our flowers bloom the most beautifully!" Wang Zhiyao said.

During the activity, young volunteers used wheelbarrows to remove stones, bricks and other garbage from the vacant lots, and residents of each building turned the ground, dug trenches, planted seeds, and watered the small gardens.
"This spring, we will also sow grass seeds in other open spaces such as behind the buildings in this community, and adopt the community trees as a family unit to make the home more beautiful. Guo Cui said.
Now, sunflowers, morning glories, zinnias, annual canopys, peacock grass, chrysanthemums, margaritas and other flower species quietly germinate in patches of flower beds.
Everyone agreed that when the flowers bloomed, they would enjoy the flowers together, sing and dance.
