Floriculture turns a profitable venture in Wayanad

Every year, thousands of tourists from the northern districts of the State journey through Wayanad to Karnataka to enjoy the beauty of flower gardens set up on the Kerala-Karnataka border. However, civic bodies, farmers groups, and other organisations have set up their own gardens in the district this year to tap the tourism potential during the Onam holidays.

While the owners of the marigold gardens in Karnataka are charging ₹50 to ₹100 as entry fee for a person for a photography session, the project at Sulthan Bathery are charging only ₹20 per person. (Source: Special Arrangement)
