On August 6, Chau Tien commune, Quy Chau district started planting flowers along the roadsides of the villages. This is a common policy of the commune to create a friendly landscape for the villages.

This activity was strongly supported and actively participated by villagers, in which, Hoa Tien 1 and Hoa Tien 2 villages, people "enthusiastically" planted flowers on the road leading to the village, this is the area to build a community tourism model.

The flower varieties planted are all locally sourced such as: Portulaca, chrysanthemum, apple blossom... collected from households that have grown them before.

Mr. Sam Van Kinh - Secretary of Chau Tien Commune Party Committee said: "The idea of ​​planting flowers along the roads in the village comes from opinions at the Commune People's Council meetings. Previously, many households in Chau Tien Commune were aware of planting flowers in front of their houses to create beautiful landscapes. In the coming time, the commune will "cover" all the roads and alleys in the villages with flowers".

According to this plan, the commune will soon have 9 flower roads.

The planting of flowers on the roadsides in the villages has received positive responses from the people, with easy-to-grow varieties of flowers planted by many households in the past. On many roadsides, people have also built fences to protect the newly planted flowers. Photo: Huu Vi

Chau Tien is home to the famous Bua cave. In recent years, the Thai people here have been very conscious of preserving the landscape and environment. Previously, the local government also initiated the planting of a row of Lagerstroemia trees connecting Ban and Hoa Tien 1 villages.
