About Our Story
关于我们的故事
Growing Together: A Journey to Inspire a Greener Future
Our journey began with the vision of Jiayu Liu, a high school student with a deep love for gardening. Jiayu spent countless hours watching gardening videos and experimenting with planting techniques, inspired by the joy of nurturing life from seed to harvest. In 2021, Jiayu turned this passion into action by founding the Green Root Initiative, starting with a small project in a local neighborhood.
Driven by a desire to share the wonders of gardening with others, Jiayu created a space where community children could gather, learn to grow their own vegetables, and develop a connection with nature. The overwhelming enthusiasm and support from the community fueled the expansion of the initiative into a comprehensive program that teaches gardening skills from the ground up, empowering future generations to embrace sustainable living.
一起种植：迈向绿色未来的启发之旅
我们的旅程源于创始人刘佳宇的愿景。他是一名热爱种植的高中生，对播种和收获的过程充满了热情。佳宇常常花费大量时间观看种植相关的视频，并尝试各种种植技巧。2021年，他将这份热爱付诸行动，创立了“绿根行动”，从一个小型社区项目开始。
出于对分享种植乐趣的热情，佳宇创建了一个让社区孩子们聚集在一起的空间，在这里他们可以学习种植自己的蔬菜，与大自然建立联系。社区的热烈支持和积极反馈使得这个项目迅速扩大，发展成一个从零开始教授种植技能的综合计划，激励下一代拥抱可持续生活。
