Agriculture Minister M. R. K. Panneerselvam told presspersons on Wednesday that around three acres of land of the Semmozhi Poonga would be used for the plant and flower show to mark the centenary of former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi. Entry to the show would be ticketed and the price of a ticket for an adult would be ₹150 and for a child under the age of 12, it would be ₹75. Tickets would be sold online. The event would be open on all days from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Agriculture Secretary Apoorva said that the plants had been nurtured in the nurseries from December and had been brought to the city on February 1 to get acclimatised to the temperature. “We will perhaps let people buy the plants. They will be able to book the plants and collect them after the show.”
