Roseau Central MP Melissa Skerrit joins team of Roseau farmers on tour of Chinese SMART Greenhouse

Roseau Central MP Melissa Skerrit is developing an urban garden programme to promote farming activity in the city.

Mrs. Skerrit joined a Chinese delegation for a tour of the seventh phase of a SMART Greenhouse in Roseau on Friday morning.

During the tour, farmers of the Roseau area were introduced to new farming techniques. On display were fruits native to cold climates which are able to grow in Dominica through a controlled greenhouse environment.

Mrs. Skerrit is encouraging Roseau residents to adopt some of the techniques introduced by the Chinese.
