A pre-holiday flower trade has begun across the country. More than 200 sites are operating in Minsk. Demand for tulips is at its peak at this time, and sales are breaking records. Previously, only large greenhouse complexes and forestry enterprises were preparing for the spring holiday, but today ordinary Belarusians are also engaged in the flower business. Flowers are grown in greenhouses in the Gomel Oblast and near Minsk. The buyer can choose from more than 10 varieties of tulips. This year's trend is light pink shades.
