Supplementary works begin
A special cleaning drive is in progress at the park in preparation for the exhibition. Mowing the overgrown grass, and painting work has already begun. The work of cultivating the vegetable and flowering plants which are part of the exhibition was started in the month of October and most of the plants have blossomed. More than 30 types of vegetables are being cultivated.
Ornamental plants
