Every year at the end of January, the Barbados Horticultural Society hosts a 2-day flower show at their headquarters at Balls in Christ Church. It is an excellent opportunity for interested visitors to see local blooms at their best.
There are flower arranging displays, fruit and vegetable displays, exhibits of tropical ferns, succulents, cacti and other plants, plus demonstrations. Plants, flowers, garden equipment and accessories, locally made jams and jellies, craft works and a host of other items are also on sale.
The Flower Show is open to the public from 10 am until 6 pm each day, and there is lots of well organised parking. There is an admission fee of BD$20 per adult (US$10) and BD$7 (US$3.50) for children under the age of 12.
The BHS also sponsors an Open Garden programme from January through March each year. Private gardens are opened to the public for a small fee, and refreshments are served.
For more information on either of these events, please visit the BHS website.
