Dayuan District's Xihai Village in Taoyuan practices green energy agriculture, environmental vegetable garden educates children

Xihai Village in Dayuan District, Taoyuan was selected to take part in the Taoyuan City Environmental Protection Bureau's "105th Year Low-Carbon Environmental Neighborhood Program." Village Chief Liu Jianxun partnered with Luo Yuxin, principal of "Xihai Nature Kindergarten," to create a "keyhole water-channel vegetable garden" at the kindergarten, practicing green energy agriculture on one hand and letting children learn about low-carbon living on the other, weaving environmental awareness into early childhood education in a distinctive style.

Village Chief Liu Jianxun said that "Xihai Village" is the hometown of water, and this clean water village has nurtured a rich flower industry. The site selected for Xihai Village's "low-carbon environmental neighborhood" project this time is "Xihai Nature Kindergarten," where first-time visitors are often deeply impressed by the natural scenery on the grounds. The kindergarten covers a vast area with lush vegetation, and beside the wooden trellises and flower stands stand several large animal statues; lifelike zebras, camels, hippos, tigers and lions accompany the "keyhole water-channel vegetable garden" built with environmentally friendly methods, making it the children's favorite spot.

Environmental Protection Bureau Director Shen Zhixiu said that Xihai Kindergarten planned the "keyhole water-channel vegetable garden" this time, properly separating the water channels, walkways and vegetable plots, which not only maintains planting efficiency but also creates a distinctive pastoral atmosphere. Principal Luo Yuxin also called on the community empowerment group "Flower Mamas" to promote green energy agriculture, practice low-carbon cooking, and brew handmade flower tea themselves, showing a style all its own.

Environmental Protection Bureau Director Shen Zhixiu pointed out that Xihai Village is rich in flowers and promotes fine agriculture in a green, low-carbon way, making good use of its own resources and weaving environmental awareness into early childhood education in a distinctive style that is well worth affirming.
