Bao An flower village during Tet season

(Baonghean.vn)- With 3 months left until Lunar New Year, people in the traditional flower growing village in Bao An hamlet, Tam Hop commune (Quy Hop) are urgently planting flowers for the Tet flower season.

Previously, in Bao An hamlet, only Mr. Tran Van Thang's family grew flowers. He was originally from Quynh Luu. Every time he returned to his hometown, he saw that flower growing was developing and bringing high economic efficiency, so he brought it up for experimentation. From planting 1 sao in the first year, for the past 5 years, his family has maintained planting on an area of ​​3 sao.

Each flower bed in Bao An hamlet is gradually being covered.

To serve the Tet flower market this year, Mr. Thang's family is mobilizing workers to close an area of ​​more than 3 sao with 60,000 flower seedlings of various types. He said that to ensure the flowers grow well, seedlings must be purchased from the Hanoi Plant Breeding Institute. The care process is also very meticulous, both planting and gaining experience after each flower crop.

Flower seeds were purchased by flower growers in Bao An hamlet from the Hanoi Plant Breeding Institute.

This year, through market research, his family focused on investing in three main types of flowers: yellow chrysanthemums, white chrysanthemums, crystal chrysanthemums, gladiolus in blue, red, purple, yellow, white and Hanoi roses. These are the types of flowers that are suitable for the soil here as well as the market, which is very easy to consume.

Mr. Thang added that last year his family had a big success with the Tet flower crop, bringing in nearly 100 million VND in revenue. Compared to other crops, flowers bring in twice the economic efficiency. This year, he hopes that the weather will be favorable, combined with careful care and experience in flower growing, will bring in higher revenue than last year.

Mr. Tran Van Thang is wiring to take care of the newly planted flower garden.

The effectiveness of Mr. Thang's family's flower growing has attracted many households in the hamlet to learn from him and now Bao An hamlet has 4 households maintaining the flower growing profession with an area of ​​over 10 sao.

Sharing with us, Ms. Hoa, one of the four households in the flower growing group, said that last year, growing flowers also brought her family an income of 40 - 50 million VND. On this occasion, her family is also urgently planting chrysanthemums, gladiolus and roses in time to serve the Tet market.

Ms. Hoa hired more workers to plant seeds on time.

Currently, the flower planting process in Bao An hamlet is very urgent. Everyone is very busy, some are hanging light bulbs, others are diligently planting flowers, preparing other conditions for the flowers to grow and bloom right on Tet holiday to sell at a good price.

More than 200,000 flower trees of all kinds are being actively cared for by households in Bao An hamlet in the hope of having a bumper crop of flowers, so that they can celebrate the traditional Dinh Dau New Year 2017 more prosperously and fully.
