The CDA will ‘soon’ begin upgrading its nursery in Chak Shahzad.
The upgradation plan involves in-house production of different species of flower and fruit plants, besides bringing more land under cultivation and establishing a state-of-the-art greenhouse to increase the number of saplings that survive during severe weather conditions.
CDA Environment Member Mustafain Kazmi Sunday visited the nursery on Sunday to review progress on the upgradation plan.
He was informed that the CDA nursery produces different species of seasonal flowers including petunias, pansies, zinnias and marigolds, and trees including fiddle, amaltas, jacaranda, kachnar, and beech, and a large variety of shrubs, creepers and ground covers.
Kazmi directed the nursery in-charge to ensure production and growth of indigenous plants, particularly fruit plants.
