Exhibition of trees and flowers opens in Yerevan
Karen Demirchyan sport and concert complex is hosting these days the first international exhibition of trees and flowers opened at the initiative of the Yerevan Municipality. Among the exhibits one can see various plants, trees and flowers, as well as materials necessary for their protection.
Participants of the exhibition are from Armenia, Russia, China, Iran, Georgia, Holland, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Nigeria. They hope that the exhibition will help them find clients in Armenia.
"Among the exhibits are plants and flowers that you cannot find in Yerevan, but they can adapt to our climate. We are going to use the trees and flowers in landscape development next year. This year we plane to increase floral areas by another hectare. Also, the large-scale work will bring the green areas up to 12 square meters per capita by 2015. In the future, we plan to make the figure at 16 square meters per capita," said Avet Martirosyan, Head of the Nature Protection Department at the Yerevan Municipality.
The exhibition will run until June 10.
