Dubai Parks and Resorts has announced its intent to add lush vegetation to its desert destination.
The Company is now well under way with acquisition of 15,860 trees, 6,100 palms and over 1.4 million shrubs and groundcovers.
Planting has already begun at the region’s largest integrated theme-park destination in preparation for its opening in October 2016.
A wide variety of plants range from more than 376 different plant species have been sourced locally, as well as from Spain, Italy, Thailand, India and China to enhance the three theme parks. These will all be connected by Riverland Dubai. The destination will also feature the Lapita hotel, a Polynesian-themed resort catering to families.
So far, over 350 Washingtonia palms have been planted with over 3,650 being tended to in the nursery. In addition, different sizes of the red flowering Delonix tree can be found throughout the grounds, with heights ranging from nearly 1.8 meters to an impressive 8 metres.
The nursery, which is part of the back of house operations, is almost two million square feet and has the capacity to house over 15,000 trees and palms and more than 900,000 shrubs and groundcovers as the project progresses. The nursery also has four greenhouses with a capacity of more than 100,000 pots each.
