If you missed the flower markets that popped up across Hong Kong for Chinese New Year, don’t fret. The city’s biggest horticultural event, the Hong Kong Flower Show, will open its doors from March 14-23, 2025. The annual happening will put the spotlight on Cosmos — a flowering plant belonging to the sunflower family — as the featured flower this year and will revolve around the theme ‘Ablaze with Glory’. The extravaganza will be held at Victoria Park from 9am-9pm every day during its 10-day run.
What to expect at the Hong Kong Flower Show
Visitors to the botanical showcase, which draws hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, will be able to check out the 52 stalls taking part in this year’s festival, including 42 flower and gardening stalls. Additional booths include food and beverage counters, books, handicrafts, and a photographic equipment stand. Tickets priced at HK$14 (adults) and HK$7 (children and senior citizens) will be available at the entrance to the venue.
In addition to browsing flowers and enjoying snacks and drinks, attendees will be able to take part in several activities, including photo and plant exhibit competitions, music and cultural performances, workshops, tours, and fun parent-child games. One of the highlights of the show will be the student drawing competition on the first day when students from different schools will be asked to draw garden displays and floral designs based on this year’s theme.
Raising environmental awareness
At the end of the event, as every year, suitable leftover flowers in good condition remaining at the venue will be sent to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department parks for replanting as part of the ‘Give the Flowers a New Home!’ Jockey Club Flower Re-planting Scheme that has been running since 2014 to raise environmental awareness among Hongkongers. Schools, environmental groups, and non-governmental organisations are also invited to apply for the scheme by filling up an application form so they can receive potted plants from the show.
