6 May, Gyalpozhing: Her Majesty the Gyalyum Tshering Yangdoen Wangchuck graced the closing ceremony of the 7th Royal Bhutan Flower Exhibition at the main venue, Namgyel Chorten in Gyalpozhing. Her Majesty was accompanied by His Royal Highness Gyaltshab Jigme Dorji Wangchuck and Ashi Yeatso Lhamo.
The exhibition was open to the public for five days from May 2-6 which saw more than nine thousand visitors including students.
The parks, gardens and structures developed for the exhibition were formally handed over to the Mongar Dzongkhag Administration through a handing-taking note signed between the Hon’ble Agriculture Secretary and the Officiating Dzongda of Mongar. The handing-taking note highlights some of the recommendations for long-term sustainability including strengthening the beautification sector.
The permanent gardens in and around Namgyel Chorten and other permanent parks and gardens in Gyalpozhing and Mongar town will be maintained as it is. The exhibition flowers will be utilised to develop additional gardens at the potential sites.
