Objective of this Challenge
The primary goal of this challenge is to raise environmental awareness and encourage everyone to grow pesticide-free vegetables. This challenge will encourage users to not only show their gardens but also teach them how to garden in small spaces like balconies or rooftops. This challenge is for everyone—even if you don't have a large garden, you can participate by sharing tips on indoor or small-space gardening. It is a very good way for all users to learn and grow together.
Many people do not keep plants on the balcony or in a small space despite having a hobby due to lack of sufficient information/knowledge. Many people are afraid of not being able to maintain them. I have planned and created this course for beginners, where they can create a healthy and green garden on the small corner of the house, courtyard, balcony, roof. By participating in this course, participants will be able to learn how to properly determine the light and space of the house, properly prepare the pot and soil, properly sow herbs and ornamental plants, regular care, repotting or transferring to a larger pot, identifying and solving potential problems of the plant, as well as how to make or propagate new plants. In addition, this course will also teach how to recycle and use various pots. The main objective of the course is to teach participants in small or limited urban spaces to grow herbs and green plants that can be used at home, to use old pots or recyclable items in an environmentally friendly way, and to increase mental peace, creativity and joy through greenery at home. At the end of this course, participants will not only acquire the skills of planting and caring for plants, but also experience the beauty of fresh greenery at home and the joy of making the home environment healthy and vibrant.
