This end of the winter season was spent $ 1 million. EUR less than last winter because there was almost no snow.

The money saved is intended to be distributed to other city management work.

According to I. Kubilienė, a contract with new contractors for flower planting in the city will soon be signed, with a two -year contract with previous service providers.

“Although winter was snowy, it is not cold, so I don't think it was very damaging to the city's plants. There are not many perennial flowers with us. In addition, last fall we planted tens of thousands of bulbous flowers – crocuses, daffodils, tulips – this spring, they should bloom much more in new places – Baltic Avenue at the roundabout, slopes of North Avenue,
