With the acceleration of urbanization, children have less and less understanding of farming culture, in order to let children get close to nature and experience the joy of planting, on the afternoon of May 11, Yongtai Community Young Workers Committee and Xuanyi Social Work Service Center organized a unique vegetable planting experience activity, leading children into nature, understanding the impact of soil pH on plant growth, and experiencing the whole process of vegetable planting.
Before the start of planting, the staff used lively, relaxed and easy-to-understand language to lead the children to explore the mysteries of agriculture from many aspects such as the origin, spread and development of agriculture, and its use value. "Are sprouted or green potatoes edible?" Questions and answers are used to consolidate the agricultural knowledge that children have learned in class. Then he explained the planting methods and precautions of vegetables, including how to choose seedlings to plant, how to cultivate the land, how to fertilize, etc. The students listened attentively, actively interacted with each other, and were full of enthusiasm for planting.
After the planting activity began, with the help of volunteers and community workers, the children couldn't wait to pick up small hoes to turn the soil, dig pits, plant seeds, and water them. The activity was full of the hope of sowing seeds, the joy of planting vegetables, the care of watering, and the joy of growth. Vegetables grown by their own hands will thrive in the years to come, bringing them more harvest and a sense of accomplishment.
Nature is the best classroom. This activity allowed the children to experience the joy of labor in the planting process and deeply feel the charm of traditional Chinese farming culture. In the next step, the Yongtai Community Young Workers Committee will continue to integrate multiple resources and arrange such meaningful practical activities for children in the jurisdiction, so as to truly achieve the goal of joint activities, resource sharing and coordinated development, and carry out in-depth cooperation in complementary advantages and volunteer services, so as to better serve residents and society, and continuously improve residents' sense of happiness, belonging and gain.
