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. This initiative follows the successful establishment of a commercial nursery in Gulberg, where plants such as Zinnia, Cosmos, Jasmine, and Roses are currently available​.

The PHA’s efforts to expand its commercial activities also include refurbishing other public spaces, like The Mall, where new trees and colorful flower beds have been planted to enhance the area’s aesthetic appeal​. These developments are part of a broader strategy to beautify Lahore, targeting key locations like city entrances, major highways, and iconic public spaces such as Gulberg Roundabout and Thokar Niaz Baig.

The PHA’s plan to establish these nurseries is not only aimed at enhancing the city’s green cover but also at boosting revenue. The agency has successfully increased its revenue targets in recent years through various business measures, including commercial agreements related to horticulture and outdoor advertising.
