Organised jointly by the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) and Rotary Uptown, Coimbatore, the event aims to promote the concept of conserving nature/environment, educating children about the diversification of flowers and its value, bringing horticulturists and floricultural entrepreneurs to the same platform for sharing of ideas and experience, university experts said.

Unique flower arrangement including arrangement with exotic and dry flowers, flower mimic structures, bonsai, flower rangoli, Ikebana style flower arrangement, medicinal plants gallery, vegetable carving, water cascade etc would be the highlight of the flower show, the Vice- Chancellor said.
