Flower power transforms lives of farmers
Local farmers carry fertilizers for flowers to a greenhouse in Chengdong town in Hai'an, Nantong, a city in eastern Jiangsu province on June 16. In recent years, the farmers have been guided to adapt their crops by vigorously developing the flower industry – and planting and selling flowers throughout the year. At present, over 10 million pots of flowers are sold to Shanghai, Shandong and other provinces and cities every year. While improving the rural environment, the flower industry has also become a mainstay industry for local farmers to get employment and increase their income. [Photo/IC]
