Mayor Robert Negoitz wants to create a mini-exotic botanical garden in Hala Laminor, recently restored by the city hall, the mayor said at a press conference. In addition, Negoitsa said that he will plant 300 frost-resistant palm trees throughout the Sector, and invited journalists to see the exotic plants that are housed in Hala Laminor.

“I came to Hala Laminor because this is where the story of palm trees begins, a story that is becoming more and more beautiful, with wonderful exotic plants. The city needs as many plants as possible that produce oxygen, we learn in school. We need to encourage people to go to school, to study plants.

We will enter the Laminor hall and visit the area that will become an indoor park, a botanical garden, where we are going to bring students who have not had the opportunity to visit exotic countries and come here to see how a banana grows on a tree, how oranges, lemons, dates

Turning to specialists, they recommended us, asked why we do not set up such factories in the city. I told them they wouldn’t last in the city. They said, Mr. Mayor, you are wrong, there are areas like Bucharest, where palm trees are resisting and developing,” Negoice said.

The mini-botanical garden will have lemons, bananas, cacti, bamboo, leandri and other types of palms. The mayor explained that the headquarters of the town hall will be moved to Hala Laminor and those who come to the town hall will be able to see the new botanical garden.

Answering the question of where the palm trees that the city hall removed from Unity Square will be moved to, the mayor replied that he put some of them in front of the city hall, and the rest in Pantelimon Park, in the water park. The mayor repeated that the palm trees cost less than 1,000 lei including transport and VAT, and 260-280 palm trees were bought, “two full trucks”.
