If you have a passion for gardening, love growing your own flowers and vegetables, or simply can’t resist capturing the beauty of a blooming flower, there’s news for you!

Lucknow’s Raj Bhavan, the official residence of the Governor, has opened its gates to the public for its much-awaited Annual Flower, Vegetables, and Fruits Exhibition. The annual event, which commenced today, February 7, will continue until February 9.

Popularly known as the Flower Show, this once-a-year spectacle is eagerly awaited by residents, offering a breathtaking display of themed floral arrangements, artistic decorations and an impressive showcase of fruits and vegetables; an experience unlike any other in the city!

This year, with the grand Mahakumbh Mela 2025 unfolding in Prayagraj, Lucknow’s Flower Show has embraced the spirit of this sacred event through a breathtaking tribute.

A magnificent floral depiction of Mahakumbh’s mythological origins stands as the highlight of the exhibition. A majestic structure, crafted entirely from vibrant blooms, brings to life the legendary Samudra Manthan.

A towering floral sculpture of Lord Ganesha stands majestically at the heart of the event, right in front of the national flag.

Adding to the spiritual ambience, stunning floral replicas of Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir and a special Heritage Flower Island beautifully adorn the exhibition.

Celebrating Lucknow’s rich history, a breathtaking floral replica of the iconic Hussainabad Clock Tower stands tall, paying tribute to the city’s architectural grandeur.

The fine arts department of Lucknow University has crafted a mesmerizing floral depiction of the solar system, offering insights into the sun and eight planets.

Besides the spiritual and architectural-themed arrangements, visitors are greeted by a delightful array of colourful structures, artistically shaped into various animals and birds, adding a whimsical charm to the event.

India’s rich legacy of spices, renowned since medieval times, takes centre stage at this year’s event. Thus, to honour this heritage, a stunning map of the country has been intricately crafted using spices from different states, making it one of the exhibition’s most captivating highlights.

Lastly, the exhibition also shines a spotlight on the rich diversity of fruits and vegetables, meticulously organised by the farmers. This year, several stalls showcase an impressive array of indigenous, hybrid and exotic produce, offering visitors a glimpse into the agricultural heritage of the region.

Overall, the three-day Annual Flower, Vegetables, and Fruits Exhibition remains one of Lucknow’s most cherished events every year.
