The decorative department of the nursery is planned to plant 15000 seedlings of eastern arborvitae. This will require an area of 2,58 hectares. The fruit nursery will plant 3,06 hectares of pear seedlings. The mother department will occupy an area of 0,175 hectares, where flowering weigela will be grown. The areas of the production and auxiliary parts were determined, which were 12,6 and 6,2 hectares, respectively. The total area of the nursery will be 18,8 hectares.
