Project Overview

案例概述

Time: Launched in February 2025, under construction

Location: Within the campus of Zhongshan Diyin School

Main Content: Zhongshan Diyin School has established a deep partnership with Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden, leveraging its collection of over 20,000 plant species to create South China’s first integrated campus habitat garden—a 2,300-square-meter complex featuring ten themed botanical exploration gardens. The project innovatively adopts a dual-mentor model integrating “research institutions + basic education,” introducing rare scientific specimens like spinulose tree fern and cycas revoluta. It features specialized zones such as Orchid Garden and Fern Forest, achieving a 5% increase in vegetation coverage. As an International Eco-School, our school plans to establish a “Four-Dimensional Integrated” teaching system which: 1) develops school-based curricula equipped with the interactive “Plant Wisdom Exploration Cards” system; 2) implements a class adoption system where students engage in innovative practices like “transparent water storage devices”; 3) sets up interactive learning stations with “one plant, one QR code” for comprehensive science coverage; and 4) collaborates with Xianhu Botanical Garden on unique activities like “plant fossil rubbing.” Among them, the “earthworm tower installation” vividly demonstrates ecological cycles, with plans to establish a “Junior Botanist” tour guide system comprising 30 student volunteers. The project embodies the philosophy of “making every plant a starting point for science.” By integrating plant cultivation with observation, it has achieved significant increase of ecological literacy in 90% of students. Its “landscape as classroom” design approach provides a dynamic model of “research-empowered education” for campus ecological development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Project Implementation

项目实施

Resource Integration Phase (November 2024 - April 2025)

Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden provided over 200 species of characteristic plants and technical schemes, while the school renovated 10 existing groups of specialized planting beds. Challenges to overcome: to resolve issues related to waterproofing layer construction in the plant area and create the specific living environments required by the plants.

‌资源整合期‌（2024.11-2025.4月）：

仙湖植物园提供200+种特色植物及技术方案，校方改造原有10组特色种植池。克服挑战：解决植物区防水层施工难题、植物特有的生存环境营造。

Zoning Construction Phase (June 2025 - November 2025)

Planting areas were divided based on the ecological characteristics and growth habits of plants, simulating natural habitats, including aquatic plants, xerophytic (desert-dwelling) plants, climbing vines, shade-loving ferns and mosses, an orchid garden, a nectar garden, and a pine-fruit garden.

Integrated with the characteristics of local Lingnan medicinal herbs: such as a Chinese herbal medicine garden and a herb garden. Innovations: Transparent water storage devices intuitively are used to demonstrate the water storage capacity of cactus roots. Insect hotels provide breeding, overwintering, and habitat sites for beneficial insects, enhancing the stability of the local ecosystem. Earthworm towers utilize natural biological processes, perfectly combining three functions: waste management, fertilization, and soil improvement, serving as highly intuitive biological devices.

‌分区建设期‌（2025.6-11月）：

按植物生态性和生长习性为分区原则，模拟自然生境：如水生植物、沙生植物、攀蔓植物、荫生蕨类和苔藓植物、兰花园、蜜园植物、松果园；结合岭南当地特色药理：如百草园、香草花园。创新点：透明储水装置直观展示仙人掌根系蓄水能力。昆虫屋为人益昆虫提供繁殖、越冬和栖息的场所，增强本地生态系统的稳定性。蚓塔装置利用了自然生物的过程，将 waste management（废物处理）、 fertilization（施肥）和 soil improvement（土壤改良）三大功能完美地结合在一起，是非常直观生物装置。

Education Integration Phase (September 2025 - Ongoing)

Developed interactive teaching tools such as "Plant Wisdom Exploration Cards" and jointly organized practical activities (e.g., "Plant Fossil Inheritance Rubbing") with Shenzhen Fairy Lake Botanical Garden.

‌教育融合期‌（2025.9-持续）：

开发"植物智慧探索卡"等互动教具，联合仙湖开展"植物化石传承拓印"等实践活动。

Project Impact & Sustainability

项目影响力、可推广性与可持续性

1. Technological and Mechanism Innovation

The initiative pioneered a “dual-mentor system” (Xianhu experts in collaboration with on-campus teachers) as a coordinated education mechanism. It developed a replicable ecological curriculum system, supported by intelligent tools of science popularization such as the Plant Wisdom Exploration Card and the One Plant, One QR Code mechanism. Together, these elements established a standardized teaching process based on the sequence of “observation–interaction–practice–co-creation.”

‌1.技术机制创新‌
  首创"双导师制"（仙湖专家+校内教师）协同育人机制，开发可复制的生态课程体系，配备"植物智慧探索卡""一植物一二维码"等智能科普工具，形成"观察-互动-实践-共创"的标准化教学流程。

2. Demonstration Value for the Sector

As a flagship project of international eco-schools, it has introduced an integrated habitat garden design (encompassing seven ecosystem types) and a class-based management model. These practices provide a quantifiable reference paradigm for campus ecological development in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, achieving a 5% increase in vegetation coverage, the first of its kind in Zhongshan City.

‌2.行业示范价值‌
作为国际生态学校标杆项目，其集成型生境花园设计（涵盖7类生态系统）、班级认养制管理模式，为粤港澳大湾区校园生态建设提供了可量化的参考范式，植被覆盖率提升5%，在中山市为首创。

3. Sustainable Development Plan

Over the next three years, the initiative will advance the “Threefold Development Strategy”:

① Digitization of the curriculum system, including the development of a plant observation platform; ② Integration of shared resources, through the joint establishment and sharing of a germplasm resource bank with Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden; ③ Socialization of practice, by organizing “campus ecology workshops” in collaboration with local schools, with an expected outreach to more than five schools.

‌3.持续发展计划‌
未来三年将推进"三化建设"：①课程体系数字化，开发植物观察平台；②资源网络化，与深圳仙湖植物园共建共享种质资源库；③实践社会化，联合辖区内学校开展"校园生态工作坊"，预计辐射超5所学校。
