News

Details: Created: 27 August 2010

During the 18th international "Green is Life" exhibition Sorbus 'Rubinovaja' proposed by our Nursery was granted a distinction.

During this year’s exhibition we presented the issue of harmful microdust and possible removal thereof with the use of plants – especially Sorbaria sorbifolia 'Sem' can be used for the above purpose; it can accumulate over 20 µg of cancerogenous dust on 1 cm2 of its leaf surface, thanks to which the dust is removed from the air.

We are also pleased to inform you that our stand was awarded "Silver Laurel" prize in the competition for the most attractive plant stand.
