In order to show the possibilities with perennials and in particular with Molter exclusive varieties in public green areas the company decided to plant a demonstration plot in a park in Kyiv.

For Molter Ukraine is a new market and to make it easier to explain to the potential customers what the possibilities are with perennial plants it is very helpful to have a good size plot in the ground.

This demonstration plot is the colorful show you get with the use of perennial plants year in and out. Being located at the very entrance the plot will effect the positivity of the people visiting this park.
