Chenshan Botanical Garden's main theme is "Plants and Health" so it focuses on scientific content and awareness, and provides a lovely garden landscape that integrates research, popular science, landscaping and leisure. The botanical garden opened in 2011 and was designated as a "Shanghai Popular Science Education Base" in 2013. It was also a "National Popular Science Education Base" in 2012.

This dynamic way pf arousing students' interest in environmental conservation is very popular.
