The central event of the show is a competition of florists, to take place on 19 May, while students attending agricultural schools will compete in making flower arrangements on 20 May.
A special guest of the 56th Floraart is a master of traditional Korean flower arranging, Kang Yong-Soon, who will hold several workshops.
The show will also feature exhibitors selling their own products and displaying floral installations and ideas for the design of small green areas. Cacti, perennials and flowers will be sold at affordable prices.
Since 20 May is World Bee Day, the Croatian Apitherapy Society will organise lectures as part of the show on the importance of care for greenery and flowers for the survival of bees in urban areas, truths and myths about honey, and how to recognise real honey.
Lectures are also to be held on the therapeutic potential of medical hemp and natural skin care products.
Admission to the event, organised by Zrinjevac, the city-owned company that cares for and maintains the city’s green areas and the City of Zagreb, is free.
