The much-awaited Empress Garden Flower Show Exhibition 2025 is scheduled to take place in Pune from January 24 to 27. Organised by the Agri-Horticulture Society of Western India since 1890, it will be open to the public from 9am to 7:30pm.
Nursery owners from Pune, Kolhapur, Sangli, Nashik, and Andhra Pradesh and all over the country are expected to participate in the flower show.
Situated in Kavade Mala, Ghorpadi, the Empress Botanical Garden spans 39 acres of rich biodiversity. Formerly known as Soldiers’ Gardens during British India, this tranquil expanse served as a recreational haven for off-duty soldiers. It was later named Empress Garden in honour of Queen Victoria. Today, the garden boasts an impressive collection of 180-200 tree varieties, contributing to its lush greenery. A dedicated 5-acre area serves as the plant nursery, cultivating a diverse range of saplings used within the garden and offered for public purchase at reasonable prices.
