Home Gardening Hits the City Life 家庭园艺来到城市生活

July 11, 2022 Hua Siyao 

As a method to make good use of city space and the recreation during the pandemic, the home gardening has blossomed.

作为在疫情期间充分利用城市空间和娱乐的一种方式,家庭园艺已经兴起了。


People living an urban life can also have their own land, growing vegetables in the yard in the house or at the rooftop of the apartment building. Actually, the home gardening has brought positive changes to those who nurture flowers and farm produce with these own hands in their life. The experience of tending the gardens allows people to calm down regardless of the continuous troubles in reality, and motivates them to communicate with others, making friends and getting to know others who have common interest. Additionally, the double life they live as an urban farmer, regularly watering, fertilizing and managing their own green patch, may offer solace and some rural charm above the traffic and bustle of the city, with the opportunity to be close to nature. Sometimes, citizens can feel a sense of tranquility and peace just sitting in the garden and smelling the sweet fragrance.

生活在城市的人们也可以拥有自己的土地,在家里的院子里或公寓楼的屋顶上种植蔬菜。事实上,家庭园艺给那些在生活中用自己的双手培育花卉和农产品的人带来了积极的变化。打理花园使人们脱离现实中不断出现的麻烦,能够平静下来,并促使他们与他人沟通,交朋友,认识有共同兴趣的人。此外,他们定期浇水、施肥和管理自己的绿地,过上“城市农民”的双重身份生活,可能会在城市的交通和喧嚣之上提供慰藉,并体会农村的魅力,有机会亲近自然。有时,市民只要坐在花园里,闻着甜美的香味,就能感受到一种宁静和安详。


As we can see, an increasing number of students are more willing to spend time and money on the aesthetic satisfaction, for pleasing to the eye and physical and mental pleasure. Actually, sales in flower and horticulture in may grew by nearly 20 percent, as compared with that in the same month last year, with those in their 30s are the biggest buyers.

我们可以看到,越来越多的学生更愿意花时间和金钱来满足审美需要,以达到赏心悦目和身心愉悦。实际上,5月份花卉园艺的销售额与去年同月相比增长了近20%,其中30多岁的人是最大的买家。


From my perspective, the booming of the home gardening shows the seek for urban residents to a mentally healthy life, which also promotes environmental and sustainability.

在我看来,家庭园艺的蓬勃发展显示了城市居民对精神健康生活的追求,这也促进了环境和可持续发展。
