A flower and tree expo was held in Taishan district, Tai'an on March 16, attracting industry association representatives from 10 provinces and three cities across China, as well as over 300 attendees from landscaping, procurement, design, and flower and tree production companies.

Following its launch, the expo will be open every Saturday and Sunday, providing an ongoing trading platform for nursery-grown plants for Tai'an and Shandong province.

The expo features nursery-grown plants, flowers, tree seedlings, potted plants, household gardening items, landscaping materials, calligraphy and paintings.

"We are from Binzhou, Shandong, and we are involved in engineering and landscaping projects. We heard that the expo offers a wide variety of plants, including grass, flowers, trees, shrubs, and shaped pines, allowing for one-stop shopping. That's why we came here to take a look," said Zhou Shilei, a buyer from Bohua Ecological Agriculture, an ecological agriculture company.

The expo is meant to promote excellent varieties of nursery-grown plants and flowers and facilitate exchanges and cooperation within the floral and tree industries.

Nursery-grown plant and flower enterprises and professionals from all over the country came to the expo to showcase their products and technologies, learn new techniques and business models, expand sales channels, strengthen cooperation and connections, and further enhance the overall strength of the floral and tree industry.

As a traditional nursery-grown plant region in China, Tai'an has developed over 266.67 square kilometers of nursery-grown plant cultivation area, involving more than 500 landscaping varieties.
