“Adopt a tree to maintain a green area.” Plant Adoption - adopting a tree in the neighborhood， watering it， pruning it and accompanying it to grow up - has been launched in Guilin City， aiming to help residents beautify their homes.
In the Management Office of the “Scenery on the Eastern Bank” Community in Guilin， Guangxi Province， China， there is a notice about plant adoption in the community. It appeals to residents in the neighborhood， children in particular， to adopt plants， learn more about the surrounding environment and protect ecology. Each resident can sign up for adoption of his/her favorite plant in the community. Relevant departments will hang a card with the name of the adopter on the tree. The card is marked with the botanical name， plant family and its origin.
There are 997 households in “Scenery on the Eastern Bank” Community. 30 types of plants are available for adoption promotion， including 20 arbors， 7 shrubs， 5 vines and some herbs. The majority are sweet-scented osmanthus trees， bamboos， maple trees and holly trees. 230 trees have been adopted now.
“This activity aims to raise the awareness of residents to protect the environment and preserve ecology and let children know more clearly about the surrounding plants and environment.” The reporter learned that adopters don’t need to pay any fees. Professionals in the community are in charge of daily maintenance like pruning， fertilizing and pesticide. The Management Office will also mark the botanical names， categories， alias， family names and growth habits， so that residents can visit and learn. Professionals are hired to explain relevant knowledge to residents， guide adopters to prune and fertilize the plants.
