Course Overview

Busy work and studies often distance us from nature. This activity offers a chance to relax, get close to nature, experience the joy of planting, and feel the happiness that comes from sweat and labor. Organized in conjunction with the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau's New Farming Experience Activity, this 'Hands-on Farmer Experience' aims to let citizens personally experience the hardships and joys of farming. We have specially opened up limited land resources as farmland, allowing citizens to try the fun of being a farmer, relieve life stress, create parent-child activity opportunities, and encourage parents and children to plant together. This helps children understand the principle of 'no pain, no gain,' thereby learning to cherish and protect nature more.
