The entrance of the fair is embellished with the special attraction, a corner exclusively for nursery owners and landscape artists with their work of art.

National Nursery Consortium took the special effort to display the products of nursery owners in the fair.

"We have a rich plant diversity in Bangladesh and there is a huge demand for plants in the international market. Without representation, our nursery owners cannot introduce these plants in the foreign market", said President of the consortium Md Tarek Rahman also the owner of the Garden Centre Group.

"We are trying to create a platform for nursery owners so that they can display their products to foreign buyers", he added.

Members of the consortium are displaying seeds of various flowers, bonsai, various species of roses, fruit saplings, and ornamental artefacts for gardens.

"We proposed DCC about a all year round seasonal tree fair in Dhaka. If DCC takes the effort then root level nurseries can find their way to foreign market easily", Rahman added.

He stressed that the current condition of Dhaka city is appalling. "To survive in the future we need to plant more trees. Not just seasonal flowers in the street islands, we need trees that will help the environment ", he added.

Another interesting feature of the fair is an architectural design competition. 60 students from various public and private universities of Bangladesh are taking part in the competition.

The competition includes three topics, designs for bus ticket counter, public toilets and street hawkers market.

Sraboni Islam competing in the public toilet segment said, "Its really fun to take part in a competition like this. It is also a rehearsal for young apprentices like us"

Award winning designs from the three segments will be implemented later.

The fair will continue till March 12.
