Accra: The Strategic Communications Africa Limited (Stratcomm Africa) has announced the 13th edition of the Ghana Garden and Flower Show, scheduled for September 20-28, 2025, at the Efua Sutherland Children's Park in Accra. This year's show, themed 'Urban Places, Green Spaces,' addresses the urgent need to transform Ghana's urban environments into sustainable and opportunity-rich ecosystems.
According to Ghana News Agency, the theme highlights the importance of green infrastructure in fostering healthier and more resilient urban areas, a crucial consideration as cities face increasing climate challenges. This direction for the 2025 edition draws inspiration from Mr. Charles Abani, the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Ghana, whose insights at the 2024 Flower Show underscored the necessity of integrating sustainability into urban planning.
The nine-day event will feature local and international exhibitors, including industry leaders in floriculture and horticulture, real estate developers, entrepreneurs, families, students, and policymakers. The show aims to provide a platform for innovation, inspiration, and education through presentations of green technologies, creative landscaping, and sustainable urban solutions.
Participants can engage in various activities such as daily exhibitions showcasing floriculture, horticulture, and eco-friendly innovations. The event will also host the 'Green to Riches' conference focusing on green entrepreneurship and policy, particularly for the youth, alongside masterclasses and practical demonstrations. Children's activities are also planned under the 'Little Green Fingers' programme, while evening events will include Music Night, Drama Night, and the Fashion in Bloom show.
Ms. Esther A.N. Cobbah, the Chief Executive Officer of Stratcomm Africa and Convener of the Ghana Garden and Flower Show, emphasized the necessity of transforming urban environments in response to global climate challenges. She described the show as a movement that recognizes green spaces as vital to people's lives and urged intentional efforts to reclaim urban areas for both people and plants.
Ms. Cobbah extended an invitation to individuals, organizations, development partners, corporate entities, and educational institutions to participate as exhibitors, sponsors, partners, or visitors. She called for collaboration among stakeholders to transform cities into thriving hubs of health, innovation, beauty, and shared prosperity.
Stratcomm Africa also appealed to government agencies, civil society, academic institutions, and the private sector to join the event, contributing to the vision of a greener, cleaner, healthier, wealthier, and more resilient Ghana.
