An Thanh Flower Garden is more than ^1,550m2 wide, with a total investment of more than 3.3 billion VND, nearly 40% completed and expected to be put into use in 4 months.

Currently, in Tan Khanh ward, there are 10 flower gardens with areas ranging from ^500m2 to ^7,000m2 , serving the living space needs of the people. These are all areas that people consider to be prime locations, "golden land".

According to Mr. Nguyen Huu Quang, An Thanh flower garden is located at a land price of about 20 million VND/ ^m2 . But with the meaning of creating landscape, urban beauty, creating a playground to serve the spiritual life of the people, the locality has built a flower garden to serve the living space needs of about 8,000 people in the neighborhood, most of whom are workers.

In addition to Tan Khanh ward, many other localities in Ho Chi Minh City also take advantage of "golden land" to build parks and flower gardens. Among them, Di An ward - the most populous ward in Ho Chi Minh City with more than 234,000 people - has so far had 27 parks and landscapes with a total area of ​​more than ^94,000m2 to serve local people, of which 51% are workers.

Secretary of the Di An Ward Party Committee Vo Van Hong shared that local parks, gardens and flower gardens meet the needs of community living space of the people. This is also the premise for the locality to aim at the goal of building a civilized, affectionate and livable ward.

Meanwhile, in many morning coffee meetings between ward leaders and residents of Thu Dau Mot ward, the story of building parks and flower gardens was reflected. Since then, this has been the topic chosen in morning coffee meetings, and then became a story between the government and the residents.

As a result, Thu Dau Mot ward has 44 parks, flower gardens and flower gardens managed by the ward. Among them, there is a flower garden of just over ^40m2 , which is a surplus land due to urban planning that is used to create green space.

The good news is that after the State allocated land to build parks and flower gardens, the exercise equipment here was mobilized from socialized sources, with many contributions from local people, the direct beneficiaries.

The above results show that creating a common living space for people as well as promoting the role of people knowing, people discussing, people checking, people benefiting is the right decision. There, the cooperation of people and local authorities is a valuable asset, helping to achieve the set goals towards a bright - green - clean - beautiful living environment.
