Spring flower guide, plant rubbing.
On April 20th, a group of cute babies were ushered in in the Peace Park, who participated in the new fashion theme activity of low-carbon life held by Jiaxing Road Street, and completed the rubbing works to feel the low-carbon life and retain the color of spring.
At the event, 20 groups of families were led by Tao Limin, a horticulturist at the Peace Park, to shuttle through all corners of the park.
Tao Limin introduced the varieties, growth environment and habits of various flowers and green plants planted in the park, and explained the principle and role of photosynthesis from a scientific point of view, so that children have a basic understanding of plant carbon sequestration, stimulate their interest and love for plants, and cultivate environmental awareness from an early age.
"Do you know? In addition to fragrant flowers, there are actually stinky plants!" Tao Limin took the children to the heather planted in the park to popularize the characteristics of heather. "Although heather smells stinky, it has the effects of anti-smoke, mosquito repellent, dust reduction, etc., which can play a role in purifying the environment. ”
Children take a deep breath and feel the wonders of nature.
In Tao Limin's explanation, the children learned about many plants in the park. In order to bring everyone closer to nature, teachers from art institutions also prepared rubbing activities for everyone to make their own low-carbon works.
Using the leaves and flowers that fell on the ground as paint, the children pasted the leaves and flowers on the eco-friendly bags or white T-shirts with the guidance and help of the teacher.
Then, through physical tapping, the juice of fresh plant leaves is watermarked on the cloth bag to form a leaf or flower pattern, creating a unique work.
By using different leaves and flowers to create a variety of patterns, children can use their imagination to depict the colors of spring and cheer for green and low-carbon.
Ms. Cheng said that such activities are particularly meaningful, not only allowing children to feel the breath of spring, learn about many plants, but also exercise their hands-on ability, so that they can establish the concept of low-carbon life and environmental protection awareness from an early age.
According to the "Three-Year Action Plan for the Construction of a New Fashion Practice Area for Low-carbon Life in Jiaxing Road Street (2024-2026)", Jiaxing Road Street has organized a variety of activities to encourage young people to establish the concept of low-carbon life from an early age, and continuously promote the new fashion of low-carbon life to become a trend.
