Flower Gathering event to take place in Genocide Memorial Complex
The traditional Flower Gathering event will take place on April 27, 10:00-18:00, in the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex on the initiative of the Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets, reads the statement released by the foundation.
According to the source, since 2010 the Flower Gathering has been supported by the FPWC’s General Partner VivaCell-MTS.
The official opening will be held at 10:00.
The initiative combines the idea of giving these flowers a new lease of life and the environmental mission that promotes recycling. The flowers laid at the Genocide Memorial on April 24 are gathered and their stems are removed from the petals. The petals are used to derive compost, and the stems – to make handmade recycled paper. The compost is used for the treatment of the soil in the Genocide Memorial Park, while the handmade recycled paper is used to make certificates or postcards.
The Flower Gathering traditionally brings together representatives of non-governmental and international organizations, private and public sector representatives, schoolchildren and students.
