Freshness coming from "the path of blooming flowers" is brilliant with flowers in Khang 3 village, Quy Hau commune (Tan Lac).

Back in Quy Hau in the days closing to Lunar New Year, we are really impressed by the roads full of colorful flowers right next to the headquarter of the commune’s people's committee. Talking about these changes, Ms. Bui Thi Hiep, the chairwoman of the commune’s Farmers’ Association says that after the field trip in Ha Tinh province, we have had the idea of ​​planting flowers to beautify the village roads and alleys. With the coordination between the Farmers’, Veterans’, Women’s and Commune Youth Union Associations, as well as people's contributions, the model was first implemented in Khang 3 village with a length of over 200 meters. Realizing the practical effect, the model continued to be replicated in Khang 3 village with a length of 400 meters after the implementation period.
The concreted paths are adorned with colorful flowers. The construction of the flower paths in Khang 3 village is quite feat. The solid flower bathtubs, which are 20 - 30 cm higher than concreted pavement, were built by bricks, then they were filled with soil to plant flowers. The paths are near the ditch, which is convenient for taking care of and watering flowers daily. Mr. Bui Hai Minh, the head of the hamlet as well as the head of the Farmers' Union in Khang 3 hamlet happily says that we have built flower bathtubs, so taking care of, watering and cleaning the village paths are convenient. With the seedling support, we have grown many different kinds of flowers and they are all well developed now. People in the commune are very excited. They take care of flowers in front of their own houses.

Just like the other households in the hamlet, waking up every morning, watering and catching insects for the flowers have been becoming a habit of Ms. Bui Thi Thanh in Khang 3 village. Ms. Thanh says "The concreted new roads are only clean, but not beautiful. Therefore, we found that planting flowers along the roadside is very reasonable. Everyone feels excited when looking at the paths with colorful flowers.  In the past flowers were not planted people used to throw rubbish into the ditch, but now the people’s consciousness is significantly raised.
