Sadec’s flower village gets ready for Tet

Update: 11/01/2010
Tan Quy Dong Flower Village, located in Sadec Town in the Mekong Delta’s Dong Thap Province, is busy in the peak flower-growing season to brace for the coming Tet holiday.

The village, watered by the silt rich Tien River and nourished by the southern sun, is home to hundreds of famous flowers and plants of the region. Considered one of the ornamental plant centers of the southern region, the village covers about 60 hectares with 600 families and nearly 3,600 gardeners.

When the swallows start mating in the spring air, the village is in its festive time with thousands of flowers blossoming and long lines of vehicles to collect ornamental plants to transport to HCMC and other provinces to beautify the traditional holiday.

If you plan to visit the Mekong Delta provinces of Long An and Tien Giang and the region in general, why not spend half an hour to travel about 21 kilometers from My Thuan Bridge to a famous flower village in Dong Thap Province’s Sadec Town.

Here lies a real regional floral paradise in the new spring season. The Tan Quy Dong Flower Village is busy now in the peak flower-growing season to be ready for the coming Tet holiday.
