More than 1,100 students from 38 kindergartens, primary, secondary, and special schools joined the Jockey Club Mosaiculture Display by Students activity at Victoria Park today (March 1). Under the guidance of some 140 green volunteers, the students worked together to put on a spectacular horticultural display, "Wonders of Africa", which is one of the major attractions of the upcoming Hong Kong Flower Show.
The parterre is embellished with about 44,000 richly coloured flowers and plants of various species including carnations, myosotis, chrysanthemums, lavender, pansies, cosmos, impatiens and more.
The horticultural display, featuring adorable installations made of cut flowers, showcases common animals in Africa including a gorilla and a hippopotamus clinging to their territories in verdant rain forests, a camel and an ostrich seeking water sources across boundless deserts, while a horned viper curls up in a corner, an elephant and a giraffe forage for food in vast savannas, and two horses freely gallop.
Visitors can enjoy the display and take photos with the plant sculptures. In the evening, the display is enhanced with light effects, making visitors feel as if they are in the mysterious and fascinating African wilderness.
This year's flower show will be held in Victoria Park for 10 days from March 14 to 23. It will be open from 9 am to 9 pm daily, featuring the colourful cosmos as its theme flower, with the theme being "Ablaze with Glory".
