In this post, I would like to talk about the ongoing flower show in Ahmedabad. If you are from Ahmedabad or around the city, then you must not miss the chance to attend it.

If you follow my blog, you already know I am from Ahmedabad and how much I love to explore my city. Ahmedabad is the largest city and the former capital of Gujarat. It’s located on the banks of the Sabarmati river and emerging as a heritage city and smart city. Not only Ahmedabad popular as a travel destination and favorite shopping spot, but also known for its culture, heritage, diamond cutting, cotton textiles, festivals, events, and street food.

Ahmedabad is also well known for marathons, trekking, cycling, camping, conferences, live concerts, Kankaria Carnival, International Kite flying festival, riverfront, college events, and other happening events in the city. Among them is the popular flower show at the riverfront park in Ahmedabad. AMC ( Amdavad Municipal Corporation ) annually holds this Flower Show at Sabarmati Riverfront.

What is the Flower Show?

Like every year, the flower show is held in winter by Amdavad Municipal Corporation and this year (2020). It is going to be its 8th version this year. This year also it was inaugurated by Chief Minister of Gujarat Vijay Rupani at the Sabarmati Riverfront.

A flower show is an event to enjoy the excellence of nature that brings people and nature closer. Beautiful exotic and native flowers, plants decorated in lawns and shaped in various sculptures and forms attract the visitors.

Thousands of people visit the flower show every day to see various exotic and native species of plants and flowers. These plants and flowers include Tulips, English Rose, Aster, Shatavri, Hypoestes, orchids, Gulmohar, Carnation Flower, etc. They’re planted and maintained with utmost care.
