It is reported that with the support of the Party Branch of Lekang Garden, all 43 corridors in the community have been built into a 1 square meter "Warm Herb Garden", planting more than 20 types of Chinese herbs such as yellow soybeans, mugwort, fishy grass, and patchouli, forming a unique scenic line.
Planting, recognizing, patting, and tasting a hundred herbs... On site, a group of representatives from co construction units and community residents jointly signed a green commitment letter for the adopters of the Hundred Herbs Garden, and experienced the planting and creation of the "Warm Hundred Herbs Garden" on site. In the future, Baicaoyuan will not only serve as a health science popularization base, volunteer service practice base, and volunteer growth base at the doorstep of residents, but also build a platform for community discussion, co construction, and sharing, encouraging residents to actively participate in autonomy, empower community governance, and realize the beautiful community vision of co construction, co governance, and sharing through voluntary means.

It is reported that as a high-density community with a permanent population of nearly 13000, the residential area of Lekangyuan has encountered a series of community governance pain points such as parking difficulties due to the large number of buildings and wide area. This year, the community seized the opportunity of the "Beautiful Community Pioneer Action" construction and jointly launched the "Warm Community - Boundless Health Promotion Friendly Community" public welfare project with the China Primary Health Care Foundation. The project focuses on serving the elderly and children, continuously deepening party building to lead grassroots governance, and striving to create an innovative action brand and model of "Boundless Society".
The "Warm and Warm Herb Garden" project mainly combines the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine and dietary therapy for health and wellness, inherits and innovates the development of traditional Chinese medicine's "treating diseases before they occur" practices, and explores new models for the dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine culture and the integration of traditional Chinese medicine services into communities. The project focuses on medical services, health management, community rehabilitation, community recreation, and dietary services, and provides systematic service solutions around the two major areas of "caring for the health of the elderly" and "popularizing the health of young people" that are widely concerned by community families. It brings health knowledge to residents in the community, enhances health awareness, and creates a good atmosphere for healthy living.

At present, Jingcheng Lekang Garden is taking participatory community planning actions, with a people-centered approach and a focus on comprehensive human development, gradually creating a social governance community where everyone has a responsibility, everyone is responsible, and everyone enjoys it. In the next stage, Lekang Garden will take the "Warm Herb Garden" project as an opportunity and entry point, and develop a "Beautiful Community Planner" volunteer service team led by the community party branch, consisting of more than 40 residents. It will create a community growth platform and a characteristic community governance distributed Herb Garden micro scenic spot matrix operated in a social organization model with multiple participants, in order to explore innovative and sustainable community governance models.
Under the guidance of the "Ma Shang · Mei" volunteer service brand project in Maqiao Town, the team will form a community care service system with the guiding ideology of "resident autonomy", "diverse subject participation, co construction and sharing" in grassroots governance. Through the workshop's characteristic scenario drama science popularization activities, the team will stimulate residents' awareness of "ownership", rely on professional volunteer teams and think tanks to explore scientific, refined, and intelligent governance solutions, gradually achieve planning proposals, implementation, and practical transformation, and work together to "prescribe the right medicine" for the pain points of community governance, forming a joint force to reduce burden and increase capacity at the grassroots level.

It is worth noting that Lekang Garden is in collaboration with the National Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Primary Care Foundation, actively exploring and leveraging various social and charitable resources. "Warm and Warm Herb Garden" deeply analyzes the diverse health needs preferences and characteristic carriers of the community, introduces professional institutions such as the National Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai Third Class Hospital, and Community Health and Medical Service Center, and uses micro scenic spots to deploy relevant medical, rehabilitation, teaching and other resources. It constructs a multi-party community volunteer service network for traditional Chinese medicine culture education, providing residents with professional empowerment and related health industry resource platforms for different positions in project construction.
In the future, the community will also widely connect with social resources, continue to promote the recruitment of "100 Enterprises Building 100 Parks" caring enterprises, and encourage more enterprises to participate in co construction. Ultimately, the mature community governance model will be extended to the surrounding communities of Maqiao Town, helping healthy communities take root and flourish in more communities, forming a vivid situation of everyone building a beautiful community.
