The Ghana Garden & Flower Show on Wednesday, August 31, 2022, marked its 10th Anniversary with the opening of an exhibition attracting several individuals and organisations involved in the horticulture industry as well as other stakeholders.

It was on the theme "Growth Unleashed" and organised by the Ghana Garden and Flower Movement, an initiative of Stratcomm Africa.

The Efua Sutherland Children's Park in Accra, which was the venue, thus became a big garden displaying flowers and shrubs of many colours (Some for beautification, food and medicine), which were a sight to behold.

Indeed, as the Holy Book says in Genesis 1:29 - "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

The opening which also included some fireworks (flowers in the sky), was graced by some dignitaries and stakeholders who presented short speeches. Patrons have a one-stop shop to get for themselves beautiful flowers and ornamental plants at competitive prices for their homes and offices till the fair ends on September 4, 2022.
