Raised-platform flower growing defines Sa Dec flower village
Sa Dec flower village in Dong Thap province is known for its traditional practice of growing flowers and ornamental plants on raised platforms rather than in the ground. Adapted to local conditions, this method helps prevent flooding, limits weeds and pests, reduces labour and costs, and enables year-round production, creating a distinctive hallmark of the village.
