(VOVword)-As the traditional Lunar New Year Festival (Tet) is drawing near, farmers in Nhat Tan flower village are gearing up to prepare peach, kumquat and apricot trees for Hanoians.

Peach trees are in blossom. Some gardens have found ways to make peach trees bloom early as Hanoians have a habit of purchasing peach trees in December as an offering to their ancestors
