Dew-drenched marigolds, chrysanthemums, jasmine and oleanders in full bloom sway in the breeze at Plamoottukkada near Parassala, some 30 kilometres from Thiruvananthapuram. Here, on an 80-cent plot, Parassala block panchayat is promoting Poovili 2022, a project to encourage floriculture.
Also in Thiruvananthapuram, marigolds are also grown on nearly 8.51 acres at six grama panchayats spread across the block panchayats of Nemom and Vellanad.
