Helping revitalize the floral industry: the Taichung City Agriculture Bureau brings floral art into schools ⟦4 Taichung's floral industry is thriving, and its quality is widely praised, but this year exports were hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic. To revitalize the floral industry, the Taichung City Agriculture Bureau has successively held campus floral art courses. So far, a total of 155 schools have signed up, with 24,000 registrants. On the 3rd, a floral art class was held at Waipu Elementary School, attracting 200 students to learn flower arranging together; many said they felt a great sense of accomplishment after completing their works and were quite satisfied. ⟦5 The Taichung City Agriculture Bureau said that Taichung's floral industry is rich and diverse, with a cultivation area of 1,356 hectares. The main production areas include Houli, Xinshe, Waipu, Beitun, Shigang, Dongshi and other districts. The main products are Oncidium, lilies, gladiolus, statice, anthurium, cymbidium, calla lilies, and Star of Bethlehem, among others. Annual cut flower production reaches 200 million stems, and these flowers have long been loved by consumers at home and abroad, but this year, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for flowers has shrunk sharply. ⟦6 To reduce the impact of the pandemic, the Taichung City Agriculture Bureau guided the Taichung City Farmers' Association to hold campus floral art promotion courses under the theme "Hua Mu Lan Blooms with Radiance," inviting professional floral art teachers to go to schools at all levels in Taichung, using large amounts of local floral materials, and leading students through hands-on experiences to come into close contact with floral design and arrangement, enhancing their love of flowers. Many students who took the floral art courses said that the floral design experience was very fresh and that completing their works gave them a great sense of accomplishment, making them feel quite happy and satisfied. ⟦7 The Taichung City Agriculture Bureau said it hopes that through the campus floral art courses, students can learn about local industries, deepen their understanding of Taichung's flowers, and cultivate aesthetic awareness, and it looks forward to further increasing the public's love of flowers, boosting consumption, and helping flower farmers get through difficult times.
