Visitors can also explore horticulture-based food products and other sustainable offerings. A key highlight of the exhibition will be the nurseries, which will display a stunning variety of both native and exotic plants.

Along with these thematic stalls, there will be workshops every day from 11 am to 1 pm on sustainable gardening practices, innovative urban gardening techniques, and many more,” she added.
