With only 10 days weeks to go to the Tet Festival, flower growers across Da Nang are now gearing up their production and taking care of their products in order to offer the best to their customers in the upcoming holiday.

Tet flower growers in Hoa Vang District are striving offer the best ornamental plants and flowers to their customers

There are currently 4 dedicated flower growing villages in the suburban Hoa Vang District, namely Duong Son in Hoa Chau Commune, Nhon Tho in Hoa Phuoc Commune, Go Giang in Hoa Phong Commune and Van Duong in Hoa Lien Commune.

Besides, dozens of residents from inner-city areas have made full use of vacant land pounces to grow Tet flowers for sale as an efficient way to earn a considerable extra income, while beautifying the landscape at the same time.

The closer to the Tet holiday, the busier for flower farmers because farmers have poured money, time and efforts in their flower farming so that their flowers can be in full blossom on time at Tet as planned.

In fact, timely blossoming will made it easy for the flowers to be much sold and enjoyed.

Many growers at the dedicated growing areas said they started the preparatory work for the Tet flower season in the 8^th lunar month, with heed paid to purchasing pots and fertilizer, enriching soil condition, and implementing related tasks.

Flower growers have installed irrigation and night-time lighting systems on their cultivation areas, along with focused on fertilizer and insecticide spraying.

Such flower growing areas require painstaking care and acute awareness of weather changes, which can make or break their crops, especially prevent pests as well as prepare measures to cope with any unfavourable weather conditions.

Another tough task is to prevent crops from blooming either sooner or later than expected.
Many growers now hope that their flowers would reach full bloom for the upcoming Tet, and be sold out before the Lunar New Year’s Eve.

Growers are taking care of their flowers

Given the climate was on their side, each family running flower farm can earn between 60 million VND and 80 million VND in annual profit.

In addition to the economic benefits, flower growing areas have become scenic landmarks beatifying the Hoa Vang landscape.

There are currently a total of 23 families involved in growing flowers at the current 5ha Duong Son flower growing village. The majority of flowers here are grown in nets houses with modern irrigation systems.

Following the instructions from the Hoa Chau Commune authorities, Duong Son is expected to become into a tourist flower village by late this year.

Visitors to this inviting village can also start growing their own pot of roses or hyacinth, which can be taken home or given as a thoughtful gift.

According to Chairman of the municipal Farmers' Association Nguyen Dinh Khanh Van, flower growing has brought high income for farmers across Hoa Vang, and hopefully, these villages will become attractive new tourist sites in the coming time.
