Project Overview

案例概述

1. In March 2023, Guannan County Huaihe Road Experimental School launched the Airborne Garden Project in front of the teaching building, anchoring the concept of "educating people through greenery" and creating an eco-friendly space with Chinese roses as the core vegetation. The project vigorously revitalizes the idle aerial platform in front of the teaching building, carefully selects multiple Chinese rose varieties, and builds a three-dimensional green classroom integrating viewing and ecological education.

20233月,灌南县淮河路实验学校启动教学楼前空中花园项目,锚定以绿育人理念,以月季花为核心植被打造生态友好空间。项目深度盘活教学楼前闲置空中平台,精心筛选多个月季品种,构建起集观赏、生态教育于一体的立体绿色课堂。

2. In terms of education, the project has established a "multi-disciplinary integration + full participation" model: the science subject carries out observation of the growth cycle of Chinese roses and research on variety characteristics based on the garden to cultivate students' inquiry abilities; the art subject conducts sketching and creation using Chinese roses as materials to improve students' aesthetic literacy; at the moral education level, "Garden Maintenance Responsibility Posts" are set up to enable students to cultivate a sense of responsibility and work ethic in daily management and maintenance.

在育人维度,项目构建多学科融合+全员参与模式:科学学科依托花园开展月季生长周期观测、品种特性研究,培养学生探究能力;美术学科以月季为素材开展写生、创作,提升审美素养;德育层面设立花园养护责任岗,让学生在日常管护中涵养责任意识与劳动精神。

3. The school simultaneously develops the school-based curriculum Exploring the Airborne Chinese Rose Garden, and regularly carries out various activities such as ecological practices and popular science lectures throughout the year, covering all teachers and students in the school.

学校同步开发《空中月季园探秘》校本课程,常年定期开展生态实践、科普讲座等各类活动,覆盖全校师生。

4. After more than two years of operation, the vegetation coverage rate of the airborne garden exceeds 90%, with flowers blooming throughout the year. It has attracted more than ten species of organisms such as butterflies and bees to inhabit, becoming a business card of the campus ecological landscape. Taking green space as a practical carrier, it has achieved multi-dimensional educational effects, including the dissemination of ecological knowledge, the cultivation of subject abilities, and the enhancement of environmental awareness.

经过两年多运营,空中花园植被覆盖率超90%,四季花开不断,吸引蝴蝶、蜜蜂等十余种生物栖息,成为校园生态景观名片。切实以绿色空间为载体,实现了生态知识传递、学科能力培养与环保意识提升的多维育人成效。

Project Implementation

项目实施

1. Implementation Plan, Process and Comparison Before and After Implementation of the Airborne Rose Garden Project - I. Project Implementation Plan and Process - (I) Preparation Phase (January-February 2023): A project team led by the principal was established, and joint preliminary investigations were conducted with county agricultural technicians and structural engineers: First, the load-bearing capacity, daily sunlight duration and soil adaptability of the airborne platform in front of the teaching building were tested, and a 200 renovation scope was determined.

空中月季花园项目实施计划、过程及实施前后对比 - 一、项目实施方案与过程 - (一)筹备阶段(20231-2月):成立校长牵头的项目组,联合县农业技术人员、建筑工程师开展前期调研:一是检测教学楼前空中平台荷载、光照时长及土壤适配性,确定200㎡改造范围。

2. Second, in line with the principle of "low cost and high adaptability", 12 sun and drought-tolerant rose varieties such as floribunda and climbing roses were selected, matched with auxiliary green plants like hydrangeas and heucheras.

二是结合低成本、高适配原则,筛选丰花、藤本等12种耐晒耐旱月季品种,搭配绣球、矾根等辅助绿植。

3. Third, a "resource recycling" campaign was launched to collect more than 300 used flower pots donated by teachers and students, and contact community gardening stores to secure sponsorships for fertilizers and tools, reducing initial investment. At the same time, teachers were organized to discuss and formulate an "interdisciplinary integration" activity plan, clarifying practical tasks for subjects such as science, art and moral education.

三是发起资源循环行动,收集师生捐赠的300余个废旧花盆,联系社区园艺店争取肥料、工具赞助,降低初始投入;同时组织教师研讨制定学科融合活动方案,明确科学、美术、德育等学科的实践任务。

4.  Implementation Phase (March-December 2023) - 1. Space Renovation: Using after-school service hours, teachers and students were divided into groups to clean the platform, lay soil (using lightweight nutrient soil) and plant seedlings. Based on "variety-based zoning", a climbing rose trellis area and a floribunda rose viewing area were planned, and student maintenance responsibility cards were set up.

实施阶段(20233-12月) - 1. 空间改造:利用课后服务时间,师生分组完成平台清理、土壤铺设(采用轻质营养土)及苗木栽种,按品种分区规划藤本月季棚架区、丰花月季观赏区,张贴学生养护责任卡。

5. Activity Promotion: The science group carried out the "rose growth log" observation activity to record plant height and flowering cycle; the art group organized "rose sketching" and "flower language handwritten newspaper" creation monthly; the moral education group set up "Gardening Little Guards" duty posts, where students took turns to be responsible for watering and pruning, and their performance was included in the class quantitative assessment.

活动推进:科学组开展月季生长日志观测活动,记录株高、开花周期;美术组每月组织月季写生”“花语手抄报创作;德育组设立园艺小卫士责任岗,学生轮值负责浇水、修剪,表现纳入班级量化考核。

6. System Implementation: The Airborne Garden Operation and Maintenance Rules were issued, and 5 teachers were arranged to conduct weekly inspections to coordinate and solve problems such as irrigation and pest control.

制度落地:出台《空中花园运维细则》,安排5名教师每周巡查,协调解决灌溉、病虫害等问题。

7.  Optimization Phase (January 2024-Present): To address issues such as winter frost damage to roses and sparse vegetation in some areas, personnel from the county agricultural technology station were invited to the school to train on cold protection measures (e.g., building windbreaks, winter pruning).

优化阶段(20241月至今):针对冬季月季冻伤、部分区域植被稀疏等问题,邀请县农技站人员到校培训防寒措施(如搭建防风障、冬季修剪)。

8. According to students' suggestions, an "ecological observation corner" was added, with insect observation boxes and thermohygrometers placed. In collaboration with the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), a "charity sale of potted roses" was held, and the proceeds were used to supplement maintenance materials, forming a small cycle of "sustaining the garden with the garden".

根据学生建议,增设生态观测角,放置昆虫观察盒、温湿度计;联合家委会开展月季盆栽义卖,收益用于补充养护物资,形成以园养园的小循环。

9. Comparison Before and After Implementation - () Changes in Space and Ecology: Before implementation, the aerial platform was piled with discarded desks, chairs and various debris, being a "gray dead corner" on campus with no ecological value. After implementation, the platform has been transformed into an aerial garden with an extremely high vegetation coverage rate.

实施前后对比 - (一)空间与生态变化:实施前,空中平台堆积废弃桌椅与各类杂物,是校园内的灰色死角,不具备任何生态价值;实施后,平台转变为植被覆盖率极高的空中花园。

10. Chinese roses bloom throughout the year, attracting various creatures such as butterflies and bees to inhabit here. The local PM2.5 concentration on campus has decreased, and it has become a "three-dimensional ecological landscape" on campus.

月季全年四季绽放,吸引蝶、蜂等多种生物在此栖息,校园局部PM2.5浓度有所下降,成为校园内的立体生态景观

11. Changes in Teachers' and Students' Behaviors and Awareness: Before implementation, students had a shallow understanding of ecological knowledge, and there were behaviors such as wasting green plants and neglecting environmental protection. After implementation, a large number of teachers and students have participated in many ecological activities throughout the year.

师生行为与意识变化:实施前,学生对生态知识的了解较为浅显,存在浪费绿植、忽视环保的行为;实施后,大量师生常年参与多场生态活动。

12. Students take the initiative to write the report "Exploration on the Relationship Between Chinese Roses and the Environment", the excellent rate of ecological knowledge tests has been greatly improved, "protecting greenery at will" has become a common habit on campus, and the project has won high satisfaction from teachers and students.

学生主动撰写《月季与环境关系探究》报告,生态知识测试优秀率大幅提升,随手护绿成为校园内的普遍习惯,项目获得师生的高度满意。

13.  Challenges and Support - () Overcome Challenges - 1. Technical Difficulties: In the early stage of the project, due to the lack of experience in Chinese rose maintenance, some seedlings had yellow leaves. By inviting agricultural technology personnel to provide on-campus guidance and organizing teachers to participate in horticultural training, the survival rate of seedlings has been significantly improved.

挑战与支持 - (一)克服的挑战 - 1. 技术难题:项目初期因缺乏月季养护经验,部分幼苗出现黄叶问题。通过邀请农技人员驻校指导、组织教师参加园艺培训,幼苗存活率得到显著提高。

14. Fluctuations in Participation: Some lower-grade students had low enthusiasm in the early stage of the project. Through carrying out activities such as "class maintenance evaluation" and "Chinese rose adoption", and matching small certificates and small green plant gifts for incentives, the students' participation rate has been greatly increased.

参与度波动:部分低年级学生在项目初期积极性较低,通过开展班级养护评比”“月季认养等活动,用小奖状、绿植小礼品进行激励,学生参与率大幅提升。

15.  Obtained Support - 1. Internal Support from the Unit: The school has included this project in the key tasks of "green campus" construction. Interdisciplinary teachers have formed a special team and held regular progress meetings. The Student Affairs Office links students' maintenance performance with the selection of "civilized students" to strengthen students' motivation to participate.

获得的支持 - 1. 单位内部:学校将该项目纳入绿色校园建设重点任务,跨学科教师组建专项团队,定期召开进度会议;学生处将学生的养护表现与文明学生评选相关联,强化学生参与动力。

16.  External Support from the Unit: Guannan County Bureau of Ecology and Environment has provided technical guidance and material support for the project, and organized horticultural experts from surrounding communities to conduct multiple training sessions on campus. The County Education Bureau has promoted this project as a case of "campus space activation", attracting many sister schools to come for visits and exchanges.

单位外部:灌南县生态环境局为项目提供技术指导与物资支持,并组织周边社区园艺达人到校开展多场培训;县教育局将该项目作为校园空间活化案例进行推广,吸引多所兄弟学校前来参观交流。
