This year, it is planned to plant up to two million flower
seedlings in Kazan to decorate all the main streets and public spaces of the
city. Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, visited today the greenhouses of the MUE
Gorvodzelenkhoz, where varieties of flowers are grown for urban decoration. The
Mayor called on business owners and all concerned citizens to join the
decoration of the city and plant flowers in the yards and surrounding areas.
“Flower decoration of Kazan has become our hallmark, Kazan citizens
and visitors of the capital of the republic got used to it, - I.Metshin said. –
This year, despite all the difficulties, will be no exception. Due to the
current situation, we will not be able to plant as many flowers as the year before,
but we have found a reasonable balance between saving money and creating a good
mood in the summer for citizens and visitors of the city”. For information, last
year the number of planted flowers exceeded seven million.
In addition to flower beds, the city will be decorated with
14 flower sculptures. In total, about 25 varieties of plants are grown in
greenhouses, among which are bright and unpretentious petunias. “We use modern
certified seedlings, which are in great demand not only in our city. They are
very bright, beautiful, long-blooming - said Rosa Zabbarova, Director of the MUE
Gorvodzelenkhoz. - When growing seedlings, high-quality peat is used, there are
no weeds in it.”
Now the seedlings are ready for planting in the city, but
due to the weather conditions, it is planned to start planting on May 20-25.
The Mayor of the city called on business owners and
concerned citizens to join in decorating the city with flower compositions. “We
will make sure that the main streets, parks and squares are decorated with
flowers, - the Mayor said. - I hope that this year we will make efforts
together and do everything to ensure that we have a beautiful and flourishing
city”.
