Imagine swapping your smartphone for a shovel on the weekends! 📱➡️🧑🌾 In China, the trend of shared gardens is sprouting up everywhere, inviting city dwellers to reconnect with nature.
One such place is UrFarms, nestled in Shanghai's eastern outskirts, which opened its gates last October. On sunny weekends, it sees up to 100 families trading the hustle and bustle for some good old-fashioned farming fun.
At UrFarms, you can rent a plot of land and choose your favorite veggies to plant. Whether you're into juicy tomatoes or crunchy cucumbers, the choice is yours! 🌶️🥕 Of course, tending a garden involves planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting. If that sounds like too much work, no worries—the farm can handle the chores for a fee.
According to Kluer Lin, founder of UrFarms, \"Most people rent a garden and ask for our help to look after the vegetables. They come once every two weeks.\"
And it's not just about the greens. UrFarms also offers horse riding, tea tasting, and even camping under the stars to keep visitors entertained. Talk about a one-stop nature getaway! 🏇🍵⛺
Shared gardens are becoming the latest buzz on Chinese social media, as more urbanites seek a slice of rural life. Who knew getting your hands dirty could be this much fun?
