If there’s one thing that Pune knows how to do, it’s celebrate nature! And this January, Pune’s beloved Empress Botanical Garden is getting ready to kick off the much-awaited Annual Flower Show 2025. Starting from January 24 and running until January 27, this four-day floral extravaganza promises to amaze the visitors with a kaleidoscope of seasonal blooms and exotic blossoms.

This event is your golden ticket if you are a flora lover, a casual enthusiast or someone who’s looking for a perfect snap (hello, Instagram feed!).  Step into a vibrant paradise of flowers and plants. Expect rows of magnificent blooms such as marigolds, gerberas, rose, gladiol, tuberoses and chrysanthemum. The lineup is a florist’s dream.

While the flowers take the centre stage, the event has much more to offer. Be ready to be wowed by mesmerising flower decorations, stunning bonsai displays and miniature gardens! It would be so intricate that you’d want to take it back home. For the enthusiastic plant parents, there would be dedicated corners featuring unique cacti and potted plants as well! (Great for plant shopping inspo!).

What’s even grand without some entertainment? To add to the charm of the event, cultural programs have been planned to keep the visitors entertained! From dance and music to various other performances, this quirky entertainment would infuse the event with a lively vibe. It would make it more than just a garden stroll.

As the event is getting closer, the gardeners are pruning, pampering and whispering sweet notes to the plant. From sunrise to sunset, they are making sure that every bloom is being pampered with royal treatment for the big day.

They are decking up the venue like a flower palace. Sparkling lights would be illuminating the fountains and every sapling. This would turn the garden into a magical escape.

So, grab your gang, family or even you with your camera. It’s literally the time to stop and smell the roses!
