The Undersecretary of Social Economy, Graciela Salvini, the Director of Family Farming, Mariano Alende, both from the provincial government, the Director of Production of the Municipality, Development and Tourism, Pablo Peñalba Díaz, and the specialist in charge of the training, Jimena Asquini, began the first of three meetings that will take place during the month of April.

Salvini stated to the Provincial News Agency that in 2026 the commitment is renewed “with the different lines of training and education to strengthen processes that accompany inclusion in self-employment within the framework of entrepreneurial development. In this line, the localities have managed and articulated different proposals to be executed during the year”.

“We are in General Acha accompanying this proposal that aims to bring tools, knowledge and exchange experiences in the design of parks and gardens. We know that in this training niche, many enterprises linked to the social economy are developed. This public policy is the fundamental basis for which the Ministry of Social Development and Human Rights, through the Undersecretary of Economy and its directorates, values not only access to financing but also training spaces to accompany the processes of social and economic inclusion,” she stressed.

Meanwhile, Alende stressed the importance of training as a way to accompany the multiple entrepreneurs and service providers, as well as the municipal staff of the town, to help them achieve better management of resources and better results in the design and maintenance of public and private green spaces. “The maintenance of green spaces is a job opportunity widely used by actors of the social economy, who find in the provision of this type of services a possibility of subsistence and development that allows them to insert themselves in economic activity,” he said.

*This course can be taught by the coordinated work between the Undersecretary of Social Economy of the Ministry of Social Development and Human Rights, the Directorate of Family Farming, and the Municipality of General Acha.

Meanwhile, the Floriculture technician, Jimena Asquini, explained that *the training teaches the uses of tools for each type of work, the preparation of the garden, the main ornamental characteristics and use: height; shape; bloom; fructification; magnitudes; color. Also, during classes, the people will learn criteria for choosing nursery plants, main corm and root modifications. Likewise, they will train on roses, the rose bush as a plant; flower and foliage, and general maintenance of the garden according to the seasons of the year. “It aims not only for those people who have it as a hobby to improve their garden, but also for those who are looking for a quick job or who already have a small gardening company and can adjust their techniques. In the case of municipal employees who carry out these tasks, they can do it in an organized and more professional manner,” Asquini stressed. In addition, she stated that “the assistants queries were related to health and plants suitable for the area.”

The training will have its second meeting next Tuesday, April 14 and the third will be on the 21st of the same month, from 9 a.m. They will be held at the Historical Cultural Center of General Acha.
