Sa Dec Flower Village Welcomes the Year of the Dog

The ornamental flowers here are renowned both domestically and internationally. During Tet, thousands of flowers bloom in every corner of the flower village. From here, flowers are transported to various regions, contributing to beautifying the atmosphere for Tet, festivals, weddings, and more.

Embracing the Arrival of Spring

Sa Dec Flower Village is located about 150km southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, nestled along the gentle Tien River, surrounded by fertile alluvial soil and the meticulous care and creativity of gardeners. It has become a four-season flower village always covered in vibrant flower carpets, with myriad shades and fragrances for life.

Sa Dec Flower Village was once part of the Tâm Phong Long region, given by Nguyen Cu Trinh to cultivate and farm.

During cultivation, being gentle and nature-loving individuals, their living spaces are always adorned with many ornamental pots.

More and more curious and beauty-loving individuals emerge, admiring and purchasing beautiful pots of flowers or ornamental plants, gradually forming the profession of ornamental plant cultivation.

Preparing for the Year of the Dog

Especially this Tet, Sa Dec Flower Village has cultivated over 100 hectares of ornamental flowers by about 2,000 households to ensure sufficient supply for the Tet market.

Gardeners have increased many new, exotic, and beautiful varieties to welcome tourists, including marigolds, chrysanthemums, roses, longevity peaches, and various ornamental plants with symbolic names like wealth, prosperity, fortune, dollar, silver, or vibrant colors symbolizing faith and hope like pink, red, burgundy, and lilies.

This year, Sa Dec Flower Village will introduce several new flower varieties to the market, such as dwarf desk daisies, a collection of 200 different types of roses, and Pepino melons from South America, which not only bloom but also bear fruit, making them exquisite decorative pieces.

What sets Sa Dec apart is its departure from the typical image of neatly arranged flower pots. Visitors will encounter the unique scenery of the Western region with its meandering rivers and flower fields in Sa Dec.

Flowers here are cultivated on tall trellises, with water flowing beneath from nearby streams. The sight of Sa Giang girls, dressed in rustic ao ba ba outfits and conical hats, tending to and harvesting flowers from these trellises, has become an integral part of the serene beauty of the Western region, blending harmoniously with nature and painting a picturesque scene that can only be found in Sa Dec's floral village.
