PHA Initiates Commercial Nurseries in Lahore to Enhance Green Spaces and Revenue
Lahore’s Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) has embarked on a new initiative to establish commercial nurseries across the city to promote green spaces and generate revenue. One of the key projects under this initiative includes developing the second-largest commercial nursery at Racecourse Park. This new nursery will feature a variety of exotic, rare, and high-value plants, making them available for gardening enthusiasts and the private sector at discounted rates.
