Volcano Park’s Coffee Tree Adoption Program Launches for May Day

If you’ve ever wondered how a coffee tree grows—from first leaf to ripe cherry—Haikou Volcano Park is giving you the chance to find out firsthand. This May Day, the park is offering visitors the unique opportunity to adopt and personally nurture a coffee tree, immersing themselves in the full coffee lifecycle surrounded by volcanic soil and spring greenery.

Over 140 coffee trees are available for adoption during the May Day holiday (May 1–3). Each tree can be named and cared for over a full year, with the first fruits expected around October. The program welcomes all ages and group types, from families to couples.

What Is the Coffee Tree Adoption Program?

The "Coffee Tree Adoption" event at Haikou Volcano Park lets participants officially name and care for a coffee tree for one year. Located in the volcano’s agricultural zone, the program lets you visit weekly to water, fertilize, and monitor your tree’s progress. It’s designed as an immersive way to connect with coffee cultivation from sapling to fruiting stage.

Why Adopt a Coffee Tree in May?

May Day (May 1–3) marks the ideal time to begin this year-long journey. The park has made 140 mature coffee trees available for adoption in the “Volcano Farmer Coffee Grove.” Each tree is ready to be named, monitored, and nurtured. With volcanic soil and spring conditions, this is prime time to support early growth and witness the full seasonal cycle leading to autumn fruiting.

Who Can Join and How Does It Work?

The program is open to all age groups and relationship types. Options include “Parent-Child Coffee Trees” for families, “Legacy Coffee Trees” for elders, “Wish Coffee Trees” for singles, “Friendship Coffee Trees” for small groups, and “Love Coffee Trees” for couples. Participants can visit weekly to water, fertilize, and watch their tree grow. Throughout the year, the park’s official WeChat account (Haikou Volcano Cluster World Geopark) will share updates on tree development.

What Else Can You Do at the Park?

Beyond coffee tree adoption, 200 tomato seedlings will also be bearing fruit over the holiday. Visitors can take home a small potted plant as part of the May Day experience. The park encourages a hands-on connection with nature through both coffee and vegetable cultivation activities.
