Freshness coming from "the path of
blooming flowers" is brilliant with flowers in Khang 3 village, Quy Hau
commune (Tan Lac).
Back in Quy Hau in the days closing to Lunar
New Year, we are really impressed by the roads full of colorful flowers right
next to the headquarter of the commune’s people's committee. Talking about
these changes, Ms. Bui Thi Hiep, the chairwoman of the commune’s Farmers’
Association says that after the field trip in Ha Tinh province, we have had the
idea of planting flowers to beautify the village roads and alleys. With the
coordination between the Farmers’, Veterans’, Women’s and Commune Youth Union
Associations, as well as people's contributions, the model was first
implemented in Khang 3 village with a length of over 200 meters. Realizing the
practical effect, the model continued to be replicated in Khang 3 village with
a length of 400 meters after the implementation period.
The concreted paths are adorned with colorful flowers. The construction of the
flower paths in Khang 3 village is quite feat. The solid flower bathtubs, which
are 20 - 30 cm higher than concreted pavement, were built by bricks, then they
were filled with soil to plant flowers. The paths are near the ditch, which is
convenient for taking care of and watering flowers daily. Mr. Bui Hai Minh, the
head of the hamlet as well as the head of the Farmers' Union in Khang 3 hamlet
happily says that we have built flower bathtubs, so taking care of, watering
and cleaning the village paths are convenient. With the seedling support, we
have grown many different kinds of flowers and they are all well developed now.
People in the commune are very excited. They take care of flowers in front of
their own houses.
Just like the other households in the hamlet,
waking up every morning, watering and catching insects for the flowers have
been becoming a habit of Ms. Bui Thi Thanh in Khang 3 village. Ms. Thanh says
"The concreted new roads are only clean, but not beautiful. Therefore, we
found that planting flowers along the roadside is very reasonable. Everyone
feels excited when looking at the paths with colorful flowers. In the past flowers were not planted people
used to throw rubbish into the ditch, but now the people’s consciousness is
significantly raised.
