A two-day flower show with figures made of flowers and vegetables will be on display in Cubbon Park on 14 and 15 November on the occasion of Children’s Day.
Floral replicas of a giraffe, boat, aeroplane and jeep and houses made from red, yellow and green capsicum are some of the attractions which will be set up at bandstand and near Chamarajendra Wadiyar statue within the park.
Apart from 13 replicas, 45 information boards on topics such as the universe, sun, radio waves, animals and birds will also be set up for children to read.
Deputy Director of Horticulture Department (Cubbon Park) Mahantesh Murugod told Deccan Herald that this was the first time the department was holding a flower show exclusively for children.
“The Bal Bhavan Society, along with Department of Women and Child Development and Horticulture Department, held a meeting and decided to organise a flower show for children”, he said.
“However, we have not discussed if we should make this an annual event,” Murugod added. Government departments such as Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), Department of Women and Child Development and Labour department and private organisations will be setting up 25 stalls as part of the event.
Other activities like BSF band and weapon show, on the spot competitions for children and terrace gardening workshops will also take place over two days.

Visitors are allowed to park their vehicles near Press Club, behind Vidhana Soudha, Kanteerava Stadium, near Karnataka Government Insurance Department (KGID) Building and MS Building.
