Sun Chunhua's work can see flowers every day.
The first garden she saw in her life was her own yard. The old house in Qinlao Village, Pujiang Town, Minhang District, is surrounded by large-leaved holly planted by his father.
There was a small river outside the house, and my father planted a tall mulberry tree on the bank of the river, with vine-covered grape trellises and lush moon flowers. For the first time, the little girl experienced the beauty of plants.
In 2003, she graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University with a major in landscape architecture, and joined the newly established Pujiang Urban Agriculture Development for more than 20 years.
From an intern all the way to the general manager, her colleagues commented on her the most as "hard-working, diligent", and she said that it was because she liked it. "I've been lucky enough to turn my hobby into a job. ”
In her fourth year, Sun Chunhua maintained her cheerful and straightforward personality as a child, but still did not like to sit in the office, and spent every day in various construction sites, nurseries, residential areas, schools, and parks.
In nature, plants are exposed to wind and rain, cold and heat, and are only likely to bloom in spring.
This year, Sun Chunhua received a municipal honorary commendation and was rated as an advanced individual in the 2023 Shanghai Key Project Practical Meritorious Service Competition.

Open the forest.
The construction of public welfare forests in Minhang District, which began in 2019, will be the first attempt to connect the surrounding residences in 20221 km of community greenway, Minxin Garden, the first rural park in Minhang District in 2022, and the ...... of 65 acres of open woodland project in Limin Village, Huihong Village, and Huibei Village will be completed in 2023Hundreds of classic greening projects in Pujiang Town are all from the hands of Sun Chunhua's team.
Just looking at the name of the project, you can also feel the changing trend of the greening and garden industry over the years - from simply increasing the forest coverage rate to continuously improving the ornamental and utilization rate.
What gives Sun Chunhua the most sense of accomplishment is the "transformation of small and micro woodlands and the utilization of understory space" that the team explored and practiced in the rural revitalization work of Pujiang Town that began in 2021.
Probably every village has a small grove of inconspicuous trees, hidden and overgrown with weeds, and you can pass by and miss it.
There is also a piece of Huizhong Village, after the transformation of Sun Chunhua's team, the villagers suddenly found that "it turns out that there is a park around us", and social capital such as camping and live streaming are coming one after another.
The new woodland space has built a wide open-air platform, surrounded by a small river in the countryside, with towering trees, birds nesting, and a gentle breeze and leisure, which has become the most significant feature of Huizhong Village.
It has become an open platform that integrates rural elements, Qicun, and is managed by Chen Xiangqian from Taiwan, a pet welfare blogger with 700,000 subscribers.
Huizhong Village opens woodland.
It is understood that this year's open forest land construction will be promoted in Beixu Village and Lianxing Village. Sun Chunhua told reporters that Pujiang Town is building more "good places for residents to relax", and this year plans to build two pocket parks around Minpu Five Villages, Xinhe Yayuan Community, and build 215 km of greenways.
It's a little more beautiful. What flowers do you like? ”
I like the moon season and peonies, but our rural areas are generally cement yards, and we can't make gardens. ”
It is recommended that you smash off a corner of the concrete floor, plant a flowering climbing plant in the corner of the wall, Yueji or Rose, and after a few years, you can climb the wall all over, and I will help you design it. ”
In October last year, Sun Chunhua and her colleagues walked into Huidong Village. In the "Beautiful Courtyard" activity, the villagers received professional advice and practical design suitable for their own yards. More than 20 villagers put the design plan into practice, and the small courtyard full of sundries was transformed into a beautiful small vegetable garden, small orchard and small garden.
After the renovation of a courtyard in Huidong Village.
What kind of plants look good in different environments? How to design different terrains to be "beautiful"? It is a question that Sun Chunhua constantly thinks about. Since 2022, she will choose several intersections in Pujiang Town for renovation every year, and according to the characteristics of the environment, some will make a small flower path, and some will put a big tree, which can light up a street corner at a very low cost.
This is where the profession lies, it is the accumulation of work experience, and it is also the result of continuous learning. Sun Chunhua has a habit of signing up for continuing education and training of professional and technical personnel at her own expense every year to continuously improve her aesthetics and understand the latest changes in the industry.
She said that greening gardens is a "profession about beauty", and what beauty is is always changing.
10 years ago, people liked the green design with strong artificial traces such as modeling trees and flower spelling patterns. In recent years, the green design has been more nature-oriented.
You will find that there are fewer and fewer grass flowers that only bloom for one season in the past, and there are more and more perennial root flowers, such as five-color plum, sage, **chrysanthemum, etc., which wilt in winter and bloom again every spring. ”
Manual labor in the sun and rain is the norm in greening work, and in this industry where there are more men, it is even more difficult for a woman to succeed.
It's very tanned, no amount of sunscreen to wear, no matter how much sunscreen measures you do", "I run the construction site every day, and I can't rest assured that I can't leave two children at home" ......In Sun Chunhua's heart, these ups and downs must be crossed when a plant takes root downward, so that it is possible to bloom.
