First international exhibition of trees and flowers opens in Yerevan

The first international exhibition of trees and flowers has been opened at the Karen Demirchyan sport and concert complex on the Yerevan Municipality’s initiative.
 
Among the exhibits are various trees and flowers, as well as landscape design implements.

Yerevan Vice-Mayor Kamo Areyan, Deputy Minister of Urban Development Ruzan Alaverdyan and other officials visited the exhibition.

Participants from Armenia, Russia, China, Iran, Georgia, Holland, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Nigeria hope that they will find clients in Armenia.

“Among the exhibits are plants and flowers that you cannot find in Yerevan, but they can establish in our climate. We are going to use the trees and flowers in landscape development next year. The large-scale work will bring the green areas up to 12 square meters per capita by 2015. Under our long-term program, this figure is to reach 16 square meters per capita,” said Avet Martirosyan, Head of the Environmental Protection Staff, Yerevan Municipality.

The exhibition will last until June 10.
