Kien Giang ornamental trees enter Tet season

Growing ornamental chrysanthemums for Tet is not a difficult job, but requires that growers closely monitor the growth of each plant. Generally speaking, ornamental flowers bring a good income to local people.

Local growers are now working in groups and joining clubs to support each other, thus expanding the growing area.

Traders come to the area to buy trees, which then find their way to other cities and provinces around the Mekong Delta and the south.
