Lola García thanked the work of the fifteen participants, "who work for months in this Training Program in Alternation with Employment, which aims to promote the labor insertion of unemployed people, while developing public service tasks related to the beautification and maintenance of gardens. "
The counselor Nuria Cabrera added that "after completing a first module, consisting of the maintenance and production of plants in the nursery, the student-worker will continue to train in knowledge about species of flora and maintenance of parks and gardens".
In addition, from the month of October, the students of the program will carry out work in the Sociosanitary Center of Day Stay 'Josefina Plá', with the aim of improving the outdoor environment by introducing endemic species.
