Horticulture Exhibition 2010


This exhibition supposed to be the largest in India is on from 26 Jan to 30 Jan on Necklace road - a wide ranging specimen of plants, trees, seeds and agro products. I managed to go there yesterday morning with Atri in tow, used his stroller to dump all the goodies I bought from there and it was great that they had helping hands with large bamboo baskets to carry all the pots one buys, for a small fee.


My shopping bag / basket in the end had -
  • Bulbs of Dahlias and Liliums
  • Four types of succulents
  • Marjoram
  • Geranium plant
  • Aloe Vera plant
  • Manure
  • Pots and saucers
  • Brochures
  • Soya pasta
  • Soya noodles
  • Udad dal
  • Tur dal
  • Udad dal vadis
  • Button mushrooms 1/2 kg
  • Organic dried oyster mushrooms
I was looking for more herbal plants like lemongrass, thyme etc. which I did not find. We got to see some fine specimens of cabbage, cauliflower and varieties of squash like pattypan, which I'm seeing in India for the first time.

I once went for this show and my picture appeared in the newspaper next day under a report of the show. I've even been for Rose Society shows, v interesting. I didn't know that they sold food and crockery there!

:) I like these shows - what fun, but with a toddler running amok, I cant afford to keep indoor plants which i'd love and no time for high maintenance stuff - so i was content buying some plants - the agro products (food stuffs) had interesting range to choose from.
