Descriptive display panels will enable members of the public to learn more about the selection of plants, plant propagation methods, and factors affecting plant growth. They will also introduce planting and plant maintenance on balconies, rooftops and gardens; environmentally friendly planting by composting; and control of pests and diseases.
Fringe activities including games stalls and eco-friendly workshops will be held during the exhibition at the Kowloon Park Arcade. Visitors can also share the fun of pot planting under the guidance of horticulture instructors.
