He wrote his first love poem with 100 lavender plants: men can't lose their inner softness if they want to make money.

April is very nostalgic recently. I often think of the books and TV dramas I read when I was a child. Two days ago, I thought of the first idol drama "Lavender" in my memory (accidentally exposing my age, I want to know how many I have seen).

Later, after watching the Qiong Yao drama "another quiet Dream", I knew that the lavender manor in Provence was so beautiful. At that time, every girl planted a dream of a lavender manor, which was also a dream related to love.

Some people dream, others are responsible for making dreams come true. In April, I met a "pseudo-literary youth" who wrote a love poem with 1 million lavender plants. Would you like to see it with April?

Purple sea and blue sky

When you talk about lavender, you think of love. Maybe it has something to do with the idol play I saw when I was a child, or maybe it is the dream woven by the blue-purple floret, which is easy to make people fall into a romantic trap.

In fact, in European tradition, lavender and love are naturally related. In the Elizabeth period, lavender played the same role in people's hearts as roses today, and a large number of folk love legends and customs are also related to lavender.

Compared with the passionate and unrestrained passion of roses, lavender, which also represents love, means a kind of implicit love and firm commitment. No matter how many hardships you may experience on the road of love, you will eventually be able to hold hands and grow old together. Therefore, lavender has also become one of the preferred flowers for European weddings.

Lavender plays an important role.

Witness the everlasting love.

This season, is the flowering season of lavender, "pseudo-literary youth" of the lavender manor has been a romantic purple sea. With the summer wind, purple ripples, emitting a rich fragrance. Close your eyes, as if you have crossed the ocean to Provence.

The literary uncle, Shen Xiaoming, said, "A man must have a career and earn money, but he must not forget the softness at the bottom of his heart."

As a result, media people who have been engaged in the industry for more than a decade have become flower farmers and planted 1 million lavender plants in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province.

Lavender grasslands are produced along the Mediterranean coast, Europe and Oceania islands, like the dry living environment. While Taizhou is wet and rainy, the soil is sticky and the drainage is poor, so Shen Xiaoming's dream of lavender manor is very difficult to start.

At first, he took a piece of land and planted 10,000 lavender plants. However, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is rainy and clayey, and the sunshine time is not long enough. Due to various limitations of natural conditions, this batch of lavender was all buried in the spring of the following year.

Seeing that there is no surviving flower field, Shen Xiaoming's heart is like this piece of lavender, which is broken before it blossoms. But he wasn't going to let it go and started looking around for lavender planting techniques.

After several twists and turns, he found Zhao Lewei, a teacher engaged in lavender research in Xinjiang. The new variety "Jieyou 7" cultivated by teacher Zhao is very moisture-resistant, suitable for the southern climate, and is not very different from the Provence variety in appearance.

With the help of teacher Zhao and professionals, a year later, 1 million lavender plants planted by Shen Xiaoming blossomed, and the dream purple sea and blue sky finally appeared in Vanilla Bay in Taizhou.

When the flowers bloomed, Shen Xiaoming, who usually looked mature and steady, was as excited as a happy bird and ran twice around the manor. For the first time in the history of more than 2100 years of Taizhou, there is a beautiful sea of flowers like Provence.

The purple is getting stronger and stronger.

And finally turned into a charming deep purple.

In order to ensure that the manor has flowers all the year round.

More than 20,000 roses have been planted.

These 1 million lavender plants, 30, 000 square meters of purple sea and blue sky, are the "love poems" written by Shen Xiaoming.

Because he had already made up his mind when he planted the first lavender. This lavender manor needs to shoulder a sweet mission to create romance for lovers all over the world.

He always believed that there were two most beautiful things in the world: a couple walking down the aisle arm in arm and the birth of a newborn, one signifying the beginning of a new life and the other the beginning of a new life.

Therefore, there is not only lavender in Vanilla Bay in Taizhou, but also a courtship platform at the edge of the flower field, with a lawn of 10,000 square meters and a church that can hold weddings.

Holding each other's hands in church

Make a lifetime commitment.

Let the grass and the flower field witness the true fruit of love.

The fragrance in the air

It's the smell of love.

Later, every summer, as long as the lavender blossoms, you can think of the beauty of knowing and loving each other, which is the happiness that Shen Xiaoming wants to continue.

The completion of the "beauty" part of the manor is only a foundation. Shen Xiaoming knows that a lavender manor that everyone yearns for also needs more leisure interaction, surrounding products and even cultural experience.

In addition to beauty, lavender also has rich connotation and medicinal value. As early as ancient Rome, lavender penetrated into all aspects of life.

The clothes of men and women are filled with the smell of lavender.

Bathing with lavender, adding flavor is secondary.

What is more important is to relieve nerves and relax the mood.

Later, Europeans became more interested in lavender, extracting lavender essential oils for aromatherapy and massage, making Lavender Tea from dried buds, and so on.

Beauty is the skeleton, and the exploration of culture and application behind lavender is the soul of the manor.

One such place is the Vanilla Museum in the manor, which houses specimens, products and various documents related to lavender, as well as the essential oil extraction processes of lavender and roses, as well as related extension products.

From the opening of the first lavender in Vanilla Bay to the present, the cause of "pseudo-literary youth" has received a lot of recognition, but he thinks it is far from enough.

In the future, there will be the construction of ecological restaurants, vanilla culture exhibition centers, container hotels, and more services such as vanilla creative handicraft DIY, parent-child interaction, scented tea, aromatherapy courses and so on.

He came to the mountain with his bare hands and built a manor with his own hands. This is a hard job, but at the same time, the sweetness and happiness of the harvest is also indescribable. Every drop of sweat dripped in the flower field will produce beautiful flowers.

As Shen Xiaoming himself said, "the window is full of flowers and trees, and the road is just outside. Maybe one day, we will spend our romance in the trivial life."

Romance is not just a pastime.

It will become an attitude towards life.

Take root and sprout on the road of life.

Now, Shen Xiaoming is looking for like-minded partners.

This purple is romantic. I'd like to invite you to enjoy it.
