With a keen focus on environmental consciousness, the exhibition will focus on plants that contribute to pollution reduction. In addition to the visual feast of flowers, workshops will be organised during the event, which will aim at educating school children on plantation techniques and the art of transforming kitchen waste into valuable compost. To cater to diverse interests, food stalls will also be present, offering a culinary complement to the botanical wonders on display.
Invitations will be extended to schools, corporate offices, colleges, and Residents’ Welfare Associations (RWAs), anticipating the participation of around three lakh people, particularly nature enthusiasts and gardening aficionados. The flower show, unfortunately, couldn’t take place during the challenging COVID years of 2021 and 2022, but made a triumphant return last year.
