Recently, the "shared vegetable garden" in a community in Nantong, Jiangsu has become popular, with a continuous stream of citizens coming to check in. How did a piece of land that had been idle for a long time become a 'rural treasure land'? It is reported that the community has been divided into more than 200 regular vegetable beds through negotiation and discussion among the owners, and is available for residents to claim through leasing. This not only meets everyone's expectation of "planting vegetables underground", but also opens up a new path for community governance. In Yipeng Street in Hangzhou, Zhejiang and Niujie Street in Beijing, there is a lively atmosphere similar to "shared vegetable gardens". Why can small vegetable gardens attract people? On the one hand, it effectively responds to people's increasingly diverse demands; On the other hand, the approach of "turning blockage into sparsity" has added a fresh footnote to the construction of grassroots governance through joint construction, governance, and sharing. Chinese people have a special affection for farming. From the Book of Songs, which says' carrying bamboo and oak, cultivating the marshes', to Tao Qian wearing stars and the moon, returning with hoes and hoes, and then to Su Shi burning and cultivating land on Dongpo, the culture of cultivation is not only a way of making a living, but also a spiritual conversion, a complex deeply rooted in the earth and hidden in the bloodline. In today's rapidly developing urbanization process, the social structure has undergone significant changes. Whether they are new citizens, "old drifters", or indigenous people rooted in the city, they all have a certain degree of attachment to their hometown in their bones. Isn't it a form of spiritual healing and spiritual sustenance to be able to manage a rural area in leisure time and experience full control over time and space through labor? The "shared vegetable garden" provides people with the opportunity to listen to the chirping of birds and insects, and experience the changes in solar terms in a feasible, touchable, and accessible way, satisfying the emotional appeal of the public for "returning to the countryside" and becoming a vivid expression of the integration of agricultural culture into modern life. From these community practices, it can be seen that the places used for cultivating "shared vegetable gardens" are mostly idle spaces. These "scraps" not only affect the ecological environment, but also bring governance problems such as personal "private occupation" and "misuse" of land. The community utilizes negotiation mechanisms to find solutions and ways out, winning the recognition of homeowners and awakening dormant resources, turning the "one acre and three fen land" designated by a few people into shared achievements. The governance wisdom contained in it cannot be underestimated. In addition, neighbors working in the fields can also exchange planting skills and enhance emotional interaction, transforming from bystanders to participants and builders, thus breaking the sense of alienation in the "stranger society" of the city. On the basis of trust and consensus gradually consolidating, it cultivates a solid soil for social governance. Of course, to make good use of and activate the 'shared vegetable garden', we also need to start from the actual situation of the community. For example, the cultivation of vegetable gardens needs to be legal, compliant, and reasonable, and must be jointly discussed and recognized by the owners before it can be officially put into operation. For example, how can the subsequent management of vegetable gardens be effectively implemented? If someone withdraws midway, how can we do a good job of connecting and avoiding land abandonment? This requires the community to improve some conventions and regulations in advance, prepare contingency plans for possible situations, and truly form a full chain governance loop of co construction, co governance, and sharing. A small vegetable garden, containing great wisdom. Only by bending down and sinking their hearts, and understanding the wisdom of grassroots governance through the simple vision of one meal and one vegetable, can urban governance truly achieve the effective connection between listening to the voice of the people and protecting people's livelihoods, and unleash the vitality of society.
