The All-India Horticulture and Agriculture Show, which commenced on Thursday at the Necklace Road People’s Plaza, has been a major attraction for Hyderabad residents. The exhibition features innovative gardening technologies, such as vertical gardening, hydroponic systems, and terrace gardening, which have captivated attendees. A wide range of plants are on display, including kitchen garden plants, outdoor plants, exotic varieties, bulbs, seeds, succulents, indoor plants, bonsai, creepers, and flowers. Visitors can also find imported plants from across the country.
With 150 stalls representing various cities like Darjeeling, Kolkata, Delhi, Haryana, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Shirdi, Kadiam, Chennai, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, the fair showcases an impressive variety of bonsai trees, flowering plants, and fruit plants. Khalid Ahmed, the event coordinator, highlighted that terrace, home, and backyard gardening can significantly reduce mental stress and promote health and happiness among urban dwellers who lead busy lives. He encouraged everyone to visit the fair, which is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. until Monday.
The fair also features medicinal plants, diverse fruit and flower plants, as well as agricultural and horticultural tools, all available for purchase. Organizers are urging attendees to view growing plants as a social responsibility, emphasizing that neglecting the environment today could mean having to buy oxygen bottles in the future, much like we purchase bottled water now. The nursery fair remains a vibrant celebration of horticulture, encouraging everyone to contribute to environmental conservation by cultivating plants.
