IMG-20191008-WA0010 — The festival will have a show that will radiate with professionalism and feature top of the class floral designs, exhibitions and set-ups showcasing creative and diverse Kenyan floral arts

Kenya is set to have the first ever flower festival on October 26th this year at Diana Hay Gardens in Lord Erroll Restaurant in Runda.

The festival idea, identified by a communications company – Bold Rose Communications, will be offering an opportunity to celebrate Kenyan flower enthusiasts and inculcate a culture of using fresh cut and garden flowers in our homes, offices, and all spaces of life.

This will not only ensure a ready market, but will also instil a Kenyan culture of using flowers, and exchanging them with people to cheer them up, show empathy, love, happiness and gratitude in our day-to-day lives.
