This year's spring edition of the Bulgarian Festival of the Plum enjoyed a beautiful spring weather, ideal for many of the events that were held outdoors. One such event was the opening of the newly planted Plum Garden at 10th km. on the main road II-35 Troyan - Lovech, near the village Dobrodan, area "Cantona".
The initiative for the planting of plum garden was taken by Troyan Municipality in collaboration with the Research Institute of Mountain Stockbreeding and Agriculture, Troyan (RIMSA). The garden will be mentored by the Movement „Two handfuls of water” – an project by students from the "Kliment Ohridski" school in Troyan, who will take care of the garden along with RIMSA.
