The 13th edition of the Ghana Garden and Flower Show (GGFS), a flagship event organized by Strategic Communications Africa Ltd. (Stratcomm Africa), is poised to transform Ghana’s urban landscapes into beacons of sustainability and resilience. Scheduled for September 20th to 28th, 2025, at the Efua Sutherland Children’s Park in Accra, the show, themed “Urban Places, Green Spaces,” aims to address the pressing need for incorporating green infrastructure into urban planning, mitigating the adverse effects of climate change, and fostering healthier urban communities. Inspired by a keynote address delivered by Mr. Charles Abani, the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Ghana, during the 2024 edition, the GGFS 2025 envisions a Ghana where urban areas transition from concrete jungles to verdant sanctuaries, harmonizing human life with the environment.
GGFS 2025 is envisioned as a vibrant convergence of diverse stakeholders, including local and international exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge green technologies and sustainable solutions. Industry leaders in floriculture and horticulture will share their expertise, while real estate developers can explore innovative green building practices. Entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to connect with potential investors and partners, while families and students can engage in interactive learning experiences. Policymakers will participate in crucial discussions on green urban development. This collaborative environment fosters cross-sectoral dialogue and promotes the adoption of sustainable practices. The show aims to catalyze a national movement towards greener urban spaces, enriching the lives of Ghanaians and bolstering the nation’s resilience to climate change.
The nine-day event promises a rich and multifaceted experience, seamlessly blending creativity, innovation, and education. Exhibitions will spotlight the latest advancements in green technologies and sustainable urban solutions, while conferences and interactive sessions will delve into green entrepreneurship and policy, with a particular emphasis on youth engagement. Practical masterclasses and demonstrations will empower attendees with actionable skills and knowledge, while the vibrant Little Green Fingers program will cultivate environmental awareness among children. Adding to the dynamic atmosphere, evening events such as Music Night, Drama Night, and the Fashion in Bloom Show will infuse the show with cultural vibrancy and entertainment.
Ms. Esther A. N. Cobbah, CEO of Stratcomm Africa and Convener of the Ghana Garden and Flower Movement, emphasizes the urgency of addressing climate change and urban sustainability, highlighting the GGFS as a pivotal platform for collective action. She underscores the importance of green spaces as integral components of urban living, working, and thriving. The GGFS is not merely an event; it represents a movement dedicated to reclaiming urban spaces for both people and plants, fostering healthier and more resilient communities. Ms. Cobbah extends an open invitation to individuals, organizations, development partners, corporate bodies, and educational institutions to participate as exhibitors, sponsors, partners, or visitors, urging collaborative efforts to transform Ghana’s cities into thriving centers of health, innovation, beauty, and shared prosperity.
Stratcomm Africa calls upon government institutions, civil society organizations, academia, and the private sector to join this transformative endeavor, contributing their expertise and resources to shape a greener, cleaner, healthier, wealthier, and more resilient Ghana. The GGFS 2025 provides a unique opportunity for stakeholders to engage in constructive dialogue, share best practices, and forge partnerships that will drive sustainable urban development. By collaborating, these sectors can accelerate the adoption of green technologies, promote environmentally conscious policies, and empower communities to create and maintain green spaces within their urban environments.
