Growing Flowers in Israel

There are innumerable varieties of flowers in all countries of the world. They are grown in different ways according to a particular country’s climate in order to produce high-quality flowers for export as well as for sale in the local market. In some countries, the weather is more extreme, which means that growing flowers is more difficult than in other nations. One such country is israel.

Israel is a country located east of the Mediterranean Sea surrounded by Lebanon to the north, Syria to the Northeast, Jordan to the east and Egypt to the southwest. It’s a fairly small, landlocked country in the Middle East that has several unique geographical features. To the north of Israel are majestic mountain ranges such as Galilee, Carmel, and Golan. To the south is the Negev Desert which covers more than half of the country’s land area.

The weather tends to be erratic. Summers are long, hot and rainless. Winters, on the other hand, tend to be short, rainy, and cold. During the rainy season, thunderstorms and hail are common. In an environment like this, growing beautiful and export-quality flowers would indeed be a very challenging task. Good thing is that the Israelis are up to the challenge.

Growing flowers in Israel demands a lot of work and dedication from all the people involved. Flowers are grown in a moshav, which is a sort of cooperative agricultural community consisting of farmers. All members are levied a tax in order to pay for a more efficient production of goods, in this case, flowers. Labor and resources are pooled together in order to produce better products. The moshav also receives help from researchers so that their technology is up-to-date, making for a better harvest.

The Philippines and Israel are very similar when it comes to cultivating flowers. For one, both countries have extreme weather conditions; the temperature can shoot up to very high and rain is unpredictable and severe. In the Philippines, the summers can be very hot and the wet season usually brings catastrophic typhoons and floods. Thus, both the Philippines and Israel makes use of greenhouse technology in order to produce beautiful and high-quality flowers. Using greenhouses counteracts the extreme and unpredictable weather of both countries.

Flowers are enduring symbols of love and peace all over the world. It doesn’t matter where or how they are grown—they will grow, and more beautifully than ever. However, a bit of help from ingenious human hands wouldn’t hurt, especially in extreme conditions.
