Traditionally, Can Tho people have a pleasure of planting flowers and ornamental plants. At almost all households either in the countryside or in the city, nearly all people know how to plant flowers and enjoy their natural beauty. Such enjoyment seen as an exotic aspect of the South is a form of folk art demonstrating the unique national culture.
Riding along the cement roads, we are surprised to see houses filled with yellow marigold. Here, any household has its own flower garden. Some families consider planting flowers as a business to earn a living; some others do it just for following the tradition of their ancestors, and they regard it as a "nice hobby" and a beauty that makes the village outstanding from other ones. People here are very happy and enthusiastic. Maybe due to this, their flowers become the most beautiful in the region.
Their typical products are marigolds, daisies, Dahlia, apricot of all types. To better serve the needs of people admiring the flowers, today's Thoi Nhut Flower Village has developed many new species which are imported and unique.
