Cubbon Park to host flower show from November 25

Last year, the Horticulture Department hosted a flower show in Cubbon Park for the first time and it drew more than six lakh visitors.

The State Department of Horticulture will host an 11-day flower show in Cubbon Park from November 25 to celebrate Karnataka Rajyotsava and Children’s Day. Last year, the department hosted a flower show in the park for the first time, which turned out to be a huge success. It drew more than six lakh visitors, particularly school children, over the 11 days, marking the first large-scale event held in Cubbon Park.

A senior official from the Horticulture Department said, “The theme for the flower show in Cubbon Park is yet to be finalised. Around one lakh flower pots have been arranged by the department, including salvia, marigold, petunia, thorenium, chrysanthemums, gerbera and other flowering plants. There will be cultural programmes hosted for children along with food stalls, crafts, and nursery stalls.”

Last year, the department exhibited a large elephant statue made from vegetables, a floral replica of Hampi’s stone chariot, a floral map of Karnataka, and various animal and bird replicas made of flowers.
