2025 Ghana Garden and Flower Show Closes with a Call for Greener, Healthier Cities
The 13th edition of the Ghana Garden and Flower Show comes to a close today, September 28, 2025, after a week of vibrant exhibitions, discussions, and activities that placed gardens, flowers, and greenery at the heart of Ghana’s future.
Since its opening on September 20 at the Efua Sutherland Park in Accra, the show has drawn thousands of visitors—families, students, professionals, and entrepreneurs—who came to explore the power of gardens and flowers in building a “Greener, Cleaner, Healthier, Wealthier, and More Beautiful Ghana.”
The week-long event featured exhibitions by horticulturalists and florists, workshops on urban greening, and sessions connecting gardening with climate action, health, and entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs showcased locally grown plants, eco-friendly products, and innovations in landscaping, with many emphasizing the business opportunities in Ghana’s green economy.
The highlight of today’s closing ceremony is the keynote address by Olayiwola Papa Omotayo, award-winning architect and founder of MOE+ArtArchitecture. Omotayo, known for redefining African urbanism through design, innovation, and cultural engagement, is expected to inspire participants on how gardening and green spaces can reshape African cities and contribute to climate resilience.
Over the years, the Ghana Garden and Flower Show has become more than a celebration of plants—it is a movement led by Stratcomm Africa to change mindsets about the environment, urban living, and the role of individuals in making Ghana more sustainable.
As the curtains fall on this year’s show, one thing is clear: the conversation is shifting from gardens as leisure to gardens as a pathway to healthier living, stronger economies, and climate resilience.
