I see that there are music and culture performances like traditional Korean arts, rhythm drumming, ventriloquist, Erhu (Chinese fiddle), Guzheng (Chinese zither), student dance, Portuguese folk tales, clown circus, saxophone, square dance, Chinese classical ribbon dance and Metis dance.
There are also many different talks and tours that you can join. Look at environmental art and footprints or explore and learn about the neighbourhood wildlife animals.
On top of that there are also pre-registered workshops that you can sign up for which includes activities like botanical printmaking, make paper flowers, Japanese art floral design, painting with erasers, making paper globe lanterns, beeswax candle making, create a bee friendly flower planter and making preserved flowers.
I think this is a nice event if you really like to embrace nature and just observe the beautiful flowers. You can take a camera with you can take some beautiful photos of different plants. I’m sure they will be super colourful and pleasing to the eye.
