DOHA: The Public Parks Department has planted 500,000 flower seedlings to be used for the beautification of the streets and parks in the run-up to Qatar National Day. The move is in response to the demand by municipalities for seasonal flowers in different types and colours.
Mohammad Al Khouri, Public Director of the department, said the step comes in preparation for National Day and to meet the demand for flowers during the winter season when there are many events and activities in different municipalities. The flowering plants also beautify public areas, he said. More people visit parks during the winter and that’s why we are keen to beautify them, as well as roundabouts and street islands, he added.
