Exhibition featured a variety of flowers such as Bottom Momos, Jabers, Rajnigandha, Daisy Flower, Orchid, Asiatics Lily and many more.

"In addition, various types of compost manure and pots were available at the exhibition. We organised a 3-day exhibition of flowers and plants at Gandhi Udyan in Raipur," said Daljeet Bagga, President of Prakriti ki Ore Society.

 

"Both indoor and outdoor plants were available at the exhibition. Today, I would teach people how to garden in a small space so that they can create fresh oxygen in their own homes."

"We also held a workshop where we taught people about indoor gardening and terrace gardens so they could garden at home. Along with this, the exhibition featured a variety of flowers such as Bottom Momos, Jabers, Rajnigandha, Daisy Flower, Orchid, Asiatics Lily, Oriental Lily, Carnation, Spray Carnation, Dutch Rose, Sun Flower, Heliconia, Marigold, and many more. Cut flowers, which were not available in Chhattisgarh, were also available here. Our goal was to get people as close to nature as possible," Bagga added.

 

Tulsi Ram Sharma, a shopkeeper, stated that the demand for seasonal flowers is increasing. Plants of orchids were in high demand. There were both flower and fruit plants available. A positive trend in people was observed. Because it was Sunday the day before, a large number of people went there. It was encouraging to see people showing their appreciation for nature."

"The exhibition is held every year, and today was the last day," said a visitor. This is an excellent way to demonstrate nature, and it should be implemented. People have attempted to manage nature responsibly. One stall took half an hour to see. It's easy to see how appealing and interesting the flowering and plants were there."

 

"Here, I saw that there were many varieties of seeds of vegetables and fruits as well as agricultural equipment," said another visitor. It was a good idea, and we'd never seen anything like it before; it looked fantastic. In the agricultural sector, the government is planning too far ahead. I am a farmer, so seeing this made me very happy. I also purchased some plants to be planted in my garden."
