【Explanation】Pulling grass, watering, picking vegetables...These farming activities that could only be done in the countryside have now become the best way to pass the time for residents in the first district of Shuangnan, Wuhou District, Chengdu.
On the morning of June 11, Deng Xuezhi, a resident of the community, came to a new green area in the community as usual, and began his daily "work". This is an "air vegetable garden" built on the roof of a non-motor vehicle shed. Deng Xuezhi adopted a planting box of about two square meters in it. She came to water and weed every day, which became her retirement. A great pleasure in life.
[Same period] (Deng Xuezhi, a resident of Shuangnan District) After planting these batches of vegetables, after she matured, we arrived at the time every day. When it was time to pick, we would pick them back and eat fresh vegetables again. Very environmentally friendly and very hygienic, the fun of the day is there.
[Explanation] It is understood that the Shuangnan District 1 is an old community of more than 20 years. There are semi-underground non-motor vehicle parking sheds between some buildings, and the top of the shed is used as a public space. Utilization not only makes the sanitation dirty, but also has hidden safety problems.
[Same period] (Chen Xiuyun, Director of Shuangnan Community Neighborhood Committee) When this "space vegetable plot" was not obtained, the carport was dirty and messy, with chickens, ducks, debris, and self-planting There are some trees, so it affects the environment of our carport, and when the roots grow, it will affect the leakage of our carport, because there are battery cars under the carport, and there are hidden safety hazards when charging. This is the first problem, and then the second This is because the environment is dirty and messy, and the residents' response is also very large.
[Commentary] Chen Xiuyun said that in order to solve this problem and improve the living environment of the community, the party committee of Shuangnan Community decided to make great efforts to transform the roof of the carport in the community. After many discussions between the two committees of the community, they decided to create an "air vegetable garden" on the roof.
[Same period] (Chen Xiunyun, Director of Shuangnan Community Neighborhood Committee) This is originally a resident who has not transferred from agriculture in the past nine years, all of them are more than 980 households, so they have the skills to grow vegetables, and they have the ability to grow this vegetable well, so Afterwards, we discussed through the two committees of the (community) committee, and then solicited public opinions and opinions. Then we discussed and passed the project at the meeting.
[Explanation] After a professional environment and safety assessment, the Shuangnan community raised 80,000 yuan in various aspects, and took the non-motorized vehicle shed between the 3 and 4 residential buildings at 241 Shuangnan Road as a pilot to begin renovation. It was learned that the roof of the carport was to be transformed into an "air vegetable garden". The enthusiasm of residents for participation was unprecedentedly high, and the number of registered residents far exceeded the actual number of planting boxes.
[Same period] (Chen Xiunyun, Director of Shuangnan Community Neighborhood Committee) We first take the form of automatic registration, a total of 48 flower boxes, 48 flower boxes were made 48, (pass) the form of grab, who caught (flower box Number), whoever is responsible for this flower box.
[Commentary] Chen Zhirong, who has lived here for more than 20 years, was fortunate to have been selected. She also adopted a planting box. She introduced that she and other residents of the lottery planted all kinds of vegetables that they harvested. It will be donated to some difficult households in the community.
[Same period] (Chen Zhirong, a resident of Shuangnan District) Before, we were also non-agricultural, because we are also very skilled at these and grow vegetables. I have not been in contact with this thing for more than ten or twenty years, so I still want to experience it. Then it also beautified the environment and the relationship between the neighbors, and everyone got along very well. Residents loved it, some brought up dolls to see, some came to teach them to recognize these plants.
[Explanation] As the pilot vegetable garden has become colorful, Chen Xiuyun said that the community will explore different models in the next step and gradually transform the remaining carports in the community to provide a more comfortable and safe living environment for the residents of the community.
[Same period] (Chen Xiunyun, Director of Shuangnan Community Neighborhood Committee) Now we are doing a pilot here. There are a total of 9 such carports in our community courtyard, so we are going to start another 8 carports one after another. . After we come down, we ask the community to invest part of it (funds), and residents invest part of it (funds), and then find some social enterprises to do some (multiple fund raising), and build this carport to make it more beautiful, so that our residents' environment is getting more and more beautiful. Let us residents live a sense of happiness here.
