Lugou Village: Golden chrysanthemum transforms into a rich flower

The most beautiful color in autumn is gold. In the autumn season, in Lugou Village, Haibeitou Township, Huairen City, golden marigolds bloom vigorously. Looking around, a rolling, harvested and colorful rural freehand oil painting is displayed in front of tourists.

On October 23, the reporter and his party came to this marigold planting base, only to see dozens of flower farmers shuttling back and forth in the field, skillfully picking marigolds, and basket after basket of flowers filled a cart in a short time. "As soon as my family's work in the field is finished, I hurry here to work, and I earn a hundred yuan a day of picking, and I can earn some pocket money." Cao Yun, a villager in Lugou Village, while busy picking, told reporters with joy on his face, "I really didn't expect that the marigolds common in this pot were actually medicinal herbs." ”

In recent years, under the policy guidance of the Huairen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Lugou Village has coordinated the "five revitalizations", continued to expand and strengthen the "marigold +" characteristic industry, combined industrial cultivation with chrysanthemum tourism and rural construction, and continuously promoted the deep integration of "three industries". At the same time, the village highlights the three themes of "planting chrysanthemums, appreciating chrysanthemums, and tasting chrysanthemums", continues to optimize the industrial layout of chrysanthemums, continuously digs deep into the cultural connotation of chrysanthemums, makes full use of the health and wellness function of chrysanthemums, and strives to create a destination for chrysanthemums in Lugou Village, providing a steady stream of power for the sustainable development of the countryside.

"Marigolds are both ornamental, detoxify and phlegm-clearing, and can also extract plant pigments, and the economic benefits are very impressive." Wang Zhongyi, head of the Lugou Village Tourism Scenic Spot, said, "Lugou Village is a key village of rural tourism in the country, in order to further promote the revitalization of the countryside, this year we in Lugou Village combined with the actual situation, explored the development of Marigold-based Chinese medicinal materials planting, organized villagers to plant 1,000 acres of marigolds in the form of orders." At present, 3 tons can be picked per mu, and the income per mu reaches 5,000 yuan, which basically achieves the expected goal. ”
