Flower has become an integral part of our everyday life. The use of flowers ranges from special festivals, including marriage ceremonies, Pohela Falgun, Pohela Boishakh, Valentine's Day, to special national holidays, such as Victory Day, National Martyrs' Day etc. We lay wreaths on monuments to pay tribute to departed souls. The use of flowers is also visible in shrines of all religions. It is used to decorate a home. Girls use it as an ornament. They are seen using flowers to decorate their hair. No doubt, it gives them a more beautiful look. From the above description, it is clear that we have a huge demand for flowers in our country, and most of the demand is met by the flowers collecting from Panishara village under Jhikargachha Upazila of Jessore district.
Farmers in Panishara village only grow different types of flowers. For this reason, this village is known as flower village. Gatkhali Bazar is the biggest flower bazaar in Bangladesh. Everyday flowers worth millions of taka are sold here. Farmers gather their flowers here and sell their products to local traders. Then again, the flowers are handed from one trader to another trader in the capital and ship them on trucks. When the flowers reach the capital city, especially in Shahbagh and Khamarbari, retailers buy their flowers from there according to their demand and budget. Afterwards, these flowers are taken to posh shops of Gulshan and Banani where they are made into bouquets and sold for handsome amounts.
