These days, coming to Kim Phuc flower village (Nghi An commune, Vinh city, Nghe An) - considered the capital of flowers and ornamental plants of Vinh city, spring is bustling with the colorful flowers blooming in the gardens and along the roadsides.

Trucks carry flowers and ornamental plants to gardens. The workload has increased, and gardeners have had to hire more workers.

Mr. Tran Van Phu (owner of a flower and ornamental plant garden in Kim Phuc) said that for flower and ornamental plant growers, Tet is the time to supply the largest quantity to the market and also the time to bring in the highest income of the year. Currently, he has imported nearly 30 types of flowers and ornamental plants to serve the Tet flower season. Flowers are taken from all regions of the North - Central - South. "On normal days, there are only 1-2 workers working. During Tet, the goods arrive continuously, so we have to hire 4-5 more people to work hourly and seasonally. Wages are paid depending on the nature of the work," Mr. Phu shared.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Lanh (54 years old, resident of Phuc Tho commune, Vinh city) said that she was hired by a gardener to transport flower pots and ornamental plants from trucks and load them onto cars for customers. She started work at 7 am. “This job does not require experience, just good health and diligence. Although it is hard, I still try to earn extra income to cover my living expenses and Tet shopping. These days, I just hope to have enough health to work.”

Those who work hard to earn a living, everyone hopes to have a more fulfilling Tet.

Ms. Hoang Thi Nam (36 years old, resident of Nghi An commune, Vinh city) shared: "During the time near Tet, goods are pouring into the gardens so we work non-stop. I am hired to plant and take care of ornamental plants, and am paid 300,000 VND/day."

Some traders come to Kim Phuc flower village to buy wholesale flowers to bring back to other regions to resell.

The carts were heavy, but this woman did not seem tired, her feet still walking briskly.

Rare break for workers in gardens and ornamental plants.

Watering properly and scientifically helps flowers stay beautiful and last longer.
