  Recently, Zilang Flower Valley Station was upgraded. A multi-functional space integrating three business formats: gardening workshop, cafe and convenience store started trial operation. 

  Walking along the path to the center of the Flower Valley, a rustic-style, semi-open building instantly becomes the visual focus. Upon entering, on the left side, lush green plants such as Swiss cheese plant, Asparagus retrofractus, and Alocasia Silver Dragon thrive with vitality. Various types of gardening tools are hung on the interior walls. The air is filled with the rich aroma of coffee. When it is sunny, camping tables and chairs will be put outside the station, to let citizens and tourists have close contact with nature. 

  In front of the station, tulips are about to bloom. Behind the station, cherry trees have just ‘awakened’. As the weather gets warmer, early cherry trees will bloom in full glory. In the future, people can purchase the plants, flowers, and gardening tools in the space, and the goods will be delivered to doorsteps.

紫琅花谷驿站开设多功能空间

    近日，紫琅花谷驿站升级，集园艺工坊、咖啡店、便利店三大业态于一体的多功能空间启动试营业。

    从小径穿行至花谷中央，一处原木风格、半开放式的建筑瞬间成为视觉焦点。进门左手边，龟背竹、蓬莱松、白犀牛海芋等绿植生机勃勃，内部墙面挂着各式园艺工具，空气中弥漫着浓郁的咖啡香气。天气晴好时，驿站外部还会摆放露营桌椅，让市民游客与大自然亲密接触。

    驿站前面，郁金香即将进入盛放期；驿站后方，樱花树刚刚“苏醒”，等天气渐暖，早樱将一展芳华。未来，空间内摆放的绿植花卉、园艺用品还可直接选购，送货上门。
