"I know, this plant is mint. "The sign says my house number. Several children were excitedly communicating. This is a new round of three-flavor "vegetable" house micro-farm activities in Shanglin Community, Guangfulin Street, where 36 groups of parent-child families successfully applied for the "Community Farmer" and experienced the urban pastoral life on the open-air platform of the community's public housing.
Taking advantage of the sunny weather on the weekend, everyone came to the open-air platform together to claim their own flower boxes and seedlings of flowers, fruits, vegetables and vegetables. With the help of their parents, the children carefully transplanted the three seedlings belonging to their own family into the flower box, and then carefully loosened the soil and watered it. Some parents also took the opportunity to teach their children how to identify peppermint and its Chinese herbal properties. "Planting flowers and plants with children can take them to experience the planting process and taste the joy of harvesting. Ms. Wang, a resident, told reporters that the community three-flavor "vegetable" house activity has been carried out for several periods, which is very popular, and this time she finally grabbed a place.
The reporter learned that the so-called three-flavor "vegetable" house, that is, each flower box is planted with flowers, vegetables and Chinese herbal medicine. Adoptive families need to ensure the survival and healthy growth of the plants, and keep a record of the growth of the plants. During this period, a theme salon will be organized for everyone to discuss and exchange "farming" experience.
"At first, it was due to the phenomenon of destroying green vegetables in the community, considering that the residents' willingness to grow vegetables is relatively strong, and it is better to block it than to sparse it, so the neighborhood committee thought of this method, hoping to provide more diversified services for residents and improve residents' life satisfaction and happiness. According to the relevant person in charge of the Shanglin community, the activity has lasted for more than a year, at first it was mainly to grow vegetables, and there were caring families who took the initiative to send vegetables to the elderly and pure old families living alone in the community. Nowadays, the planting patterns are becoming more and more abundant, and the participating teams have expanded from the initial dozen groups of families to more than 30 groups.
