Penerapan Program Penghijauan Berbasis Tanaman Hias dalam Meningkatkan Kualitas Estetika Lingkungan di Desa Sesaot

Abstract

The ornamental plant-based greening program in Penangke Hamlet, Sesaot Village, is a form of community service aimed at improving the aesthetic quality and environmental sustainability. This activity was motivated by low community awareness of the importance of cleanliness and greening, amidst the village's significant natural tourism potential. Through a familial and mutual cooperation approach, IAIQH students, together with the community and village officials, planted 200 ornamental and hardy plant seedlings such as pucuk merah, mini ketapang, eucalyptus oil, and nyamplung along the riverbank. The activity methods included site observation, symbolic handover of seedlings, and technical assistance during planting. The results of the activity showed high community participation and a growing collective awareness of the importance of protecting the environment. This activity also contributed to preventing erosion and flooding, while supporting the development of environmentally friendly tourist villages. This program is the first step in building a culture of sustainable environmental care at the village level.
