Project Overview

案例概述

The "One Meter Farmland" project in Zhanjiang Sub-district, Liangxi District, also known as "Xinzhuang Children's Fun Farm", was originally an abandoned plot of land between Liutan Xin Village Community and Zhuangqian Community. It had been neglected for many years, overgrown with weeds, and even became a paradise for invasive species such as "Solidago canadensis" and the American white moth. In early 2024, Zhanjiang Sub-district took the transformation of this wasteland as an attempt in ecological civilization construction. Zhuangqian Community provided the funds and Liutan Xin Village Community planned the renovation together. They transformed the wasteland into farmland, giving new life and meaning to this over 1,000-square-meter plot of land. This not only solved the ecological problem of invasive species but also effectively reduced carbon emissions and increased carbon sinks, improving the local environment.

无锡市梁溪区瞻江街道的一米农田项目,又名新庄童乐农趣园,原为刘潭新村社区和庄前社区之间的一块荒地,多年无人管理、荒草丛生,成为加拿大一枝黄花、美国白蛾等外来入侵物种肆意生长的区域。2024年初,瞻江街道将荒地改造作为生态文明建设的尝试,由庄前社区出资、刘潭新村社区策划共同施工,将1000多平方米荒地变为农田,既解决外来物种入侵的生态问题,又实现减碳增汇、改善局域环境。

The farm is divided into over a dozen "One Meter Farmlands" and a fruit tree area, where more than 20 kinds of vegetables and fruits are grown. Each plant has its own information sign. The roads have been repaved, walkways have been built, irrigation facilities have been reinstalled, and the newly installed entrance is also very interesting. One side of the wall has been decorated with various agricultural knowledge display boards. Besides the "hard environment", the "soft environment" is also emphasized: the project invites students from local primary and secondary schools and children from the community to participate in immersive planting experience classes. Experienced farmers and school teachers give lessons through tea parties and painting classes, discussing the importance of agriculture and depicting its beauty. This allows children to experience the joy of labor, understand the value of food, and develop the habit of saving and living a low-carbon life.

园内划分出十几片一米农田及果树区,种植20多种蔬菜和水果,每种植物都配有专属信息标识牌;道路重新硬化并修建步道,铺排浇灌用水设备,新安装的门头趣味十足,一侧墙面布置农耕知识展板。项目注重软环境打造,邀请辖区中小学学生、社区孩子开展沉浸式种植体验课,由经验丰富的老农和学校名师授课,通过茶话会、绘画课等形式说农种事、说农种美,让孩子们体验劳动快乐、感悟食物来之不易,养成节约低碳的生活习惯。

Project Implementation

项目实施

1. Reasonable design and scientific planning: The park is designed to be divided into vegetable planting area, fruit tree planting area, and science popularization practice area, each of which is equipped with an independent sink and irrigation device. At present, peach trees, plum trees, pipa trees, orange trees, hawthorn trees and other fruit trees have been planted in the park. Some crops suitable for spring growth have also been sown in advance, such as chicken feather vegetables, coriander, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes and other vegetables. At the same time, various areas such as insect hotels, science popularization corridors, and achievement exhibitions are also being set up in the park.

合理设计、科学规划:园内分为蔬菜种植区、果树栽种区、科普实践区,每块区域均设有独立洗手池和灌溉装置。目前已栽种桃树、李树等多种果树,播种鸡毛菜、香菜等春季农作物,同时正在设置昆虫旅馆、科普长廊、成果展示等区域。

2.  Diversified linkage and collaborative governance 1. Social Citizen Collaboration: In terms of planting, we fully listen to residents' opinions and suggestions, and mobilize Wuxi's good person Cai Dingfeng and other experienced old residents as our volunteers to participate in the daily management and maintenance of the vegetable garden. The number of volunteer participants throughout the year exceeded 800. The first phase of the Family Partner Program will be launched in 2025, and 20 families have adopted and participated in daily management, synchronously providing support to elderly people in extreme poverty, subsistence allowance, and loneliness.

多元联动,聚力共治1. 社民联动:种植方面充分听取居民意见,发动无锡好人蔡定峰及有经验的老居民作为志愿者参与菜园日常管理维护,全年志愿者参与人次超8002025年启用第一期家庭合伙人计划,20户家庭认养并参与日常管理,同步反哺特困、低保、孤寡等老人。

3. School community linkage: Cooperate with Liutan Experimental Primary School to create an off campus labor practice base for students. The school leads students to work in the contracted area every week, planting crops that grow in all seasons in the fields, allowing students to learn about farming knowledge while getting close to nature, experiencing the joy of labor, and realizing the hard won nature of food. Through practice, students can "educate" people and speak about farming through "words" and "paintings", further deepening their spiritual and cultural connotations.

校社联动:与刘潭实验小学合作打造校外劳动实践基地,学校每周带领学生到包干区域劳作,种植四季农作物,让学生在学习农种知识的同时亲近自然、体验劳动快乐、感悟食物来之不易,以实践人,通过说农种事、说农种美,深化精神文化内涵。

4. Party Building Alliance: In order to further stimulate the participation of social resources in governance, party building alliance units are mobilized to claim "funding". The claim fee for each square meter of vegetable field is 800 yuan per year. Currently, 14 party building alliance units have claimed itand a portion of the public welfare funds obtained are used for seed procurement, watering fees, organic fertilizers, and agricultural tools. Another department is used for the design and production of science popularization manuals and cultural and creative products. Through the "Love Enterprise Claim" public welfare business service model, the project can effectively and continuously operate. More than 500 kilograms of lettuce have been harvested by 2025.

党建联盟:发动党建联盟单位认领注资,每平米菜地年认领金800元,目前已有14家单位认领;所得公益金部分用于种子采购、水费、有机肥等支出,部分用于科普手册及文创产品设计制作,通过爱心企业认领的公益经营性服务模式保障项目持续运营,2025年已收获莴苣500余斤。

5. Version 2.0, further upgraded functionality 1. Vegetable Garden+Practice: One is the emotional practice of residents, providing farming sites for elderly people who love to grow vegetables in the jurisdiction. It can serve as a daily volunteer for management and help the elderly regain their experience of planting vegetables; The second is the outdoor labor practice of students, which puts a lot of academic pressure and hones their physical and mental health through labor. Therefore, the school has launched "agricultural mathematics classes, vegetable garden aesthetic education classes, farmland life classes, and respect for the elderly and moral education classes" in the vegetable garden, combining learning and enjoyment.

版本2.0,功能再升级1. 菜园+实践:为辖区种菜爱好老人提供农作场地,既让其担任管理志愿者,又帮助找回种菜情怀;为学生提供户外劳作实践,缓解课业压力、磨炼身心健康,学校在菜园开展农耕数学课、菜园美育课等,实现学与乐并行。

6. Vegetable Garden+Science Popularization: Carry out science popularization activities with different themes in the vegetable garden, such as "The Secrets of Soil", focusing on in-depth knowledge of soil properties, acidity, color, softness, and other aspects. "Enjoy Every Season's Vegetables and Fruits", popularize the characteristics of different vegetable and fruit planting based on different agricultural crops in each season, "The Life of Plants", and conduct science popularization throughout the entire life cycle of vegetables and fruits planted in the vegetable garden, including seeds, germination, flowering, and fruiting.

菜园+科普:开展土壤的秘密”“每季蔬果乐”“植物的生命等不同主题科普活动,围绕土壤特性、蔬果种植特性、植物全生命周期等进行深入科普。

7. Vegetable Garden+Cultural and Creative: Combining the trendy cultural and creative activities that young people enjoy nowadays, we invite students, local residents, and members of alliance units to design cultural and creative products based on vegetable gardens, such as vegetable garden postcards, pillows, graffiti manuals, DIY handkerchiefs, and more. These products will be sold for charity, and the public welfare funds will be used to support the daily operation of the vegetable garden and reward outstanding volunteers and designers.

菜园+文创:邀请学生、辖区居民及联盟单位人员,以菜园蔬果为原型设计明信片、抱枕、涂鸦手册等文创产品并义卖,所得公益金用于菜园日常运营及奖励优秀志愿者和设计者。

8. Comparison Before and After Implementation: Before implementation, the land was abandoned, overgrown with weeds, invaded by alien species, and affected the local environment; After implementation, it was transformed into an ecological farm with complete facilities, realizing ecological restoration, carbon reduction and carbon sink increase, and becoming a comprehensive space integrating planting, science popularization, and public welfare, which improved the living environment and residents' sense of gain.

实施前后对比:实施前,该地块为荒地,杂草丛生、外来物种入侵,影响局域环境;实施后,改造为设施完善的生态农场,实现生态修复与减碳增汇,成为集种植、科普、公益于一体的综合空间,改善了居住环境,提升了居民获得感。
