Noida is all set to host the 3-day annual flower show this weekend. If reports are to go by, the Noida Flower Show, which will be a vibrant celebration of nature's beauty, will be held at the Ramlila Ground, Noida Stadium, in Sector 21.

It’s a collaborative effort between the Noida authority and the Floriculture Society of Noida. This grand exhibition, now in its 36th edition, promises to showcase as many as 70 varieties of flora, and thereby creating a breathtaking spectacle for attendees.
Manju Grover, General Secretary of the Noida Floriculture Society, revealed that the selected theme for the current year's exhibition revolves around the exquisite ‘Stock’ flower. Upon entry, visitors will be welcomed by enchanting displays of Stock flowers, and several delightful varieties of this floral beauty will be prominently showcased throughout the event.

A particular highlight of the event will be a landscaping exhibit featuring an array of cut flowers and plants, capturing the essence of nature's diverse splendour.

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.

The organisers aim to make the show accessible to all, with free entry for attendees.
