The Giraudel flower site was a buzz of activity over the weekend (May 27-29, 2022) as the Morne Anglais Community Tourism Group welcomed locals and visitors to Dominica’s ‘flower basket’ and flower show launch themed the ‘Enchanted Garden’.
This year, a media launch, parade, Creole Brunch, and Tea Party were among the highlights. Attendees were able to sample a variety of local cuisine and confectionery while listening to Dominica's amazing Extasy band perform live. The devoted plant enthusiasts were not to be overlooked as the launch featured local blossoms and succulent plants on display and for sale, and educational sessions on farming practices by the Ministry of Blue and Green Economy, Agriculture and National Food Security. “The Flower Show/Market Fair is intended to be a colourful and educational Botanic Centre where nationals and tourists can visit and experience tranquility and beauty – “Nature in Paradise” a spectacular garden of flowers and other natural products of Dominica.” - Ms. Shirley Alexander of the Morne Anglais Community Tourism Group. The Discover Dominica Authority welcomes the return of the flower show as the dates are now confirmed as October 28-30, 2022; allowing organizers to twin the flower show (as a daytime event) with Dominica’s signature event – World Creole Music Festival.
