13th edition of the Garden Show & Spring Festival 5/8/2016
Beirut’s premier outdoor spring event, The Garden Show & Spring Festival, celebrated its 13th edition this year, showcasing an even bigger selection of flowers, plants, gardening equipment, terrace furniture and handicrafts. The event brought together more than 220 exhibitors with unique ideas for enhancing outdoor spaces.
 
On behalf of the Minister of Agriculture H.E. Mr. Akram Chehayeb, Ms. Rana Hassan launched the national campaign for the preservation of Lebanon’s “Fell” (Arabian jasmine) plant. As part of their commitment, the Ministry of Agriculture distributed more than 8,000 of the aromatic plants throughout the 5 day show.
 
A number of gardening specialists and TV personalities held workshops to help people spruce up their balconies, gardens and terraces. In addition, renowned Lebanese fashion designer Rabih Keyrouz presented a garden apron designed exclusively for the show.
 
The popular food court Taste Lebanon was again a part of the festival this year. Visitors were able to choose from a selection of 26 exciting food and beverage concepts. Diners also enjoyed a live entertainment program including jazz, oriental and Latin music.
 
For the third consecutive year the show hosted Travel Lebanon, a space dedicated to promoting rural tourism and the wonders of Lebanon.
 
Other show highlights included the Kids Village, where youngsters played on inflatables, participated in live games and got creative with soap and perfume making, the Farmer’s Market, bringing fresh and homegrown products of local producers to the table and the Taste & Flavors stand, where celebrity chefs sold their delicious items to raise money for food charity Restaurants du Coeur.
