On an area of about 2,000 square meters of garden land with a full fish pond, fruit trees, corn, vegetables, bamboo, etc., Ms. Phan Thi Binh's family in Tan Son hamlet, Quang Thanh commune (Yen Thanh) has planned and renovated it into a specialized garden, mainly growing ornamental peach trees and fruit trees.
Ms. Binh said: Previously, her family paid little attention to gardening. With the encouragement and support of the Women's Union of the commune and the village, her family renovated to develop the economy from the garden. At the same time, the commune and village association officials directly supported and guided the family to have a beautiful garden. Just during the recent Lunar New Year of Giap Thin, her family sold 95 peach trees, earning 45 million VND.

In addition to building flower and tree roads, the care and maintenance are also focused on by the association in the form of assigning the households on the roads to undertake. Currently, the Women's Union of Quang Thanh commune has successfully built 3 routes of Bauhinia and Sao Den trees with a length of nearly 1 km.
In addition to the above tasks, the Women's Union of Quang Thanh commune also actively supports its members, poor, near-poor women, and those in difficult circumstances to improve their lives through collecting scrap to raise funds to support breeding; providing bank credit for women to borrow capital, create jobs, etc.; and each year, eliminate poverty for 3-5 women members.
