Project Overview

This project takes the shared garden of Yangjiang Shui'an Community as its core implementation space, serving both community residents and volunteers.

Current Problems

The shared garden has not undergone targeted micro-regeneration, resulting in a single-function spatial layout and low utilization efficiency. Greening maintenance relies on purchased fertilizers, incurring relatively high costs. Kitchen waste and garden trimmings are not recycled on-site, placing significant pressure on external transport and disposal. Moreover, the garden lacks ecological science education functions, leading to residents' weak low-carbon awareness and an insufficient atmosphere for green co-construction.

Cause Analysis

The absence of micro-regeneration has left no standardized composting sites for on-site waste conversion. Ecological science education has not been integrated into daily garden use, and its delivery formats remain outdated and monotonous. Furthermore, a long-term participation mechanism has not been established, resulting in low engagement from residents and co-building partners.

Improvement Objectives

Using the shared garden's micro-regeneration as a lever, we will build composting sites and a science education display corner, enabling on-site composting of organic waste to nourish garden greenery and creating a visually tangible low-carbon green scene. Ecological science education will be embedded into daily activities to deliver subtle, imperceptible public environmental education. A long-term volunteer operation mechanism will be established by mobilizing all stakeholders to cultivate a co-governance and shared green community culture, ultimately enhancing the garden's spatial quality and ecological service functions.

项目背景

本项目以洋江水岸社区共享花园为核心实施空间，服务对象覆盖社区居民及志愿者。

问题现状：共享花园未开展针对性微改造，空间功能单一、利用率偏低；绿化养护依赖外购肥料，成本偏高，厨余及园林废弃物未就地资源化利用，外运处置压力大；花园缺乏生态科普功能，居民低碳意识薄弱，绿色共建氛围不足。

原因分析：微改造缺失导致无规范化堆肥点位，废弃物无法就地转化；生态科普未融入花园日常场景，形式单一；未建立长效参与机制，居民及共建单位参与度低。

改进目标：以共享花园为抓手，搭建堆肥点位与科普展示角，实现废弃物就地堆肥反哺绿化，打造低碳可视绿色场景；将生态科普融入日常，实现润物无声的公众教育；联动各方建立长效志愿机制，培育绿色社区文化，提升花园空间品质与生态服务功能。

Project Implementation

This project centers on the shared garden's micro-regeneration, with a focus on waste resource recycling and ecological science popularization. It is carried out through multi-party collaboration, with strict control over key milestones and targeted solutions to implementation challenges, ensuring effective delivery.

1. Key Milestones and Participating Stakeholders

The project advances in three core phases:

Preparatory Phase (1–2 weeks): Complete needs assessment, scheme design, and resource coordination.

Construction Phase (3–4 weeks): Finish installation of composting sites, layout of science education corners, and equipment commissioning.

Long-term Operation Phase (ongoing): Deliver volunteer training, environmental education activities, and sustainable daily maintenance.

The Social Organization Service Center serves as the overall coordinator; community property management and co-building entities act as collaborative partners; residents and volunteers form the core implementation team; and professional environmental organizations provide technical support.

2. Resource Allocation

Resources are arranged across three dimensions: facilities, manpower, and funding.

Facilities: Procure standardized compost bins, science display boards, gardening tools, and other supplies; renovate idle garden zones into dedicated composting areas.

Manpower: Establish a volunteer service team, engage co-building partners, and invite environmental experts for technical guidance.

Funding: Rely on sponsorship from community co-building units and public donations to cover equipment procurement and activity expenses.

3. Challenges and Targeted Solutions

Challenge 1: The composting site is located within the frequently visited shared garden, and odors generated during composting triggered resident complaints.

Implementing Parties & Measures: Coordinated by the neighborhood committee, jointly executed by partner coffee shops in the community, volunteers, and environmental specialists. A three-pronged approach was adopted: regularly collect coffee grounds from co-built coffee shops for odor absorption; organize volunteers to gather fallen leaves for layered covering of compost materials; and stipulate that only pre-meal raw kitchen waste be delivered, excluding highly perishable and malodorous substances, thereby fundamentally eliminating odor issues.

Challenge 2: Low public acceptance and weak willingness to participate in composting at the initial stage.

Implementing Parties & Measures: Jointly rolled out by social organizations and volunteer teams, with visualized outcomes as the core strategy. Document the garden's landscape changes before and after applying homemade organic fertilizer, regularly display comparison photos of flourishing plants, and organize on-site visits for residents. The tangible ecological improvements greatly boosted residents' enthusiasm to join waste delivery and garden maintenance.

Challenge 3: Composting involves professional techniques, creating operational barriers for ordinary residents.

Implementing Parties & Measures: Led by environmental experts together with community volunteers. Deliver offline hands-on training, streamline composting procedures, and assign on-site instructors to provide one-on-one guidance.

Challenge 4: Unregulated daily operation of composting sites threatened long-term sustainable management.

Implementing Parties & Measures: Administered jointly by property management and volunteer teams. Formulate standardized operation rules specifying daily waste drop-off, compost turning, and fertilizer collection procedures; divide responsible zones; and conduct regular equipment inspections and sanitation cleaning.

By addressing practical difficulties with tailored interventions, the project realizes on-site resource recovery of organic waste, builds a visible low-carbon green living landscape, fosters a co-governance and shared green community culture, and substantially upgrades the environmental quality and ecological service capacity of the shared garden.
