According to festival organizers, regional chrysanthemum cultivation has increased by 15% in the past three years, driven by gardeners and entrepreneurs seeking sustainable practices and aesthetic inspiration. The display blends traditional craftsmanship with modern horticultural techniques, creating living paintings at every turn.
