The design of Tsuen Wan District's "A Jiangnan Residence" adopts natural elements including rockeries and water features adorned with a stone bridge, stone sculptures, a stone table and an archway, enriching the serene landscape. Featuring myriad lush flowers and trees with complementary colour tones, this plot showcases the beauty of harmony in nature.
Kwai Tsing's garden, with the theme of "The Blissful Valley", is inspired by gardens in northern Thailand. To support going green, this plot uses recyclable and environmentally friendly materials, including a meditation platform and seat pads made of fallen trees after a typhoon. Such a design epitomises the traditional philosophy of merging nature with everyday living.
Eastern District's "The Cherished Days of Hong Kong" is inspired by the resettlement estates of Hong Kong in the past. The plot, displaying small shops and playground equipment of the old days, is filled with common plants and adorned with vigorously coloured cosmos, vividly telling the stories of Hong Kong. In addition, the use of green materials also creates a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of those cherished days.
Yuen Long District's "The Happy Cottage" depicts the theme of a dwarves' garden. To allow visitors to immerse in its beauty, the plot is planted with fragrant spring flowers, vegetation and trees, while the winding path and gurgling water create a lively atmosphere that brims with the joy of nature.
Wan Chai District’s "Joyful Wanderlust" features the joy of an outing with family and friends. The garden, featuring a caravan adorned with flowers and a camp table, is surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant blossoms.
The design of Islands District's "Treasure Hunt Adventure" features tropical flowers and plants brimming with dazzling colours to create an exotic Caribbean charm. In addition, a treasure trove featuring flowing water is set up with treasure chests scattered around. The landscape is made with recycled zinc panels and discarded wood to show support to the principle of going green.
All entries in the Garden Plot Competitions were meticulously designed by staff of the District Leisure Services Offices of the LCSD. Members of the public can visit the flower show to enjoy the above winning entries and other garden plot designs. Meanwhile, the flower show is hosting the "My Most Favourite Garden Plot" online voting campaign (www.hkflowershow.hk/en/hkfs/2025/voting.html), encouraging voters to choose their favourites from the garden plots of the 18 districts at the show, with a chance of winning free air tickets.
The flower show, with some 400 000 flowering plants on display, is running until this Sunday (March 23) from 9am to 9pm daily. A rich diversity of educational and recreational fringe activities are also being held for the enjoyment of visitors of all ages.
The flower show is organised by the LCSD. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has supported the Flower Show since 2013 and has been its major sponsor since 2014.
