The Hong Kong Flower Show at Victoria Park will close on Sunday (March 24). Featuring gorgeous landscape displays and beautiful floral arrangements, the flower show also offers a diverse range of fringe activities, including music and cultural performances, floral art demonstrations, green activities workshops and fun games, for the enjoyment of visitors of all ages.
The fun-filled programmes being held on the park's central lawn include magic shows, balloon-twisting, face-painting, African drum playing, arts-and-crafts stalls, game stalls and more. Equally entertaining are the Jockey Club Community Green Playground and marching band performances. Visitors can also take a leisurely coffee break and enjoy music performances in the floral marquee, where entries of the plant exhibit competition are being displayed. A pop-up library providing books about aquaponics is also available.
Other programmes in the showground include talks as well as music and dance performances. There will also be floral art demonstrations by masters from Japan and Hong Kong.
The 10-minute light show will be held at 7.30pm and 8.30pm daily. The floral displays along the central axis will be enhanced with light and music effects to showcase the beauty of the showground during the day and at night.
The Chinese hibiscus is the flower show's theme flower this year. After the show, Chinese hibiscus suitable for replanting and still in good condition will be distributed to the public at 10.30am next Monday (March 25) at the park's South Pavilion Plaza (near the Sugar Street entrance). It is expected that about 5 000 pots will be distributed depending on the conditions of the plants. Each person can get one pot on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last. To help protect the environment, members of the public are encouraged to bring their own bags.
