The event, hosted by the Horticulture Department in honour of former Chief Minister M Karunanidhi’s birth centenary, was inaugurated by Tamil Nadu Minister, Udhayanidhi Stalin.
“The botanical gardens of Bengaluru and Ooty hold a special place in our hearts,” shares Manjula along with Manivannan, a 70-year-old retired banker, and her partner.
“We had no idea what to expect, but we’re absolutely thrilled by the surprises we’ve stumbled upon,” says Manivannan whom along with Manjula have a shared love for flowers.
Amid the various attractions at the flower show, including face-painting stalls, pottery workshops, and bouquet demonstrations, several artists have also been drawn to the event.
It’s a widely embraced belief that shared experiences have a magical way of bringing people closer together. And it seems the flower show at Semmozhi Poonga is proving just that.
