Free foliage exhibition opens at Kowloon Park with workshops and talks
A free horticultural education exhibition showcasing ornamental foliage plants has opened at Kowloon Park. The event features display panels, hands-on workshops, and two free lectures on 14 and 15 November, focusing on plant conservation and cultivation techniques.
A free horticultural education exhibition titled “Ornamental Foliage Plants in All Their Splendour” has opened at Kowloon Park, offering the public a chance to learn about leaf-focused plants that are evergreen, easy to care for, and suitable for indoor cultivation. The exhibition, organised by the Hong Kong government, is free of charge and runs at the park’s Greenery Education and Resource Centre.
According to a government press release on 11 November 2026, the exhibition uses display panels to introduce a wide range of foliage plants commonly found in Hong Kong, such as snake plants, Monstera deliciosa, and Fittonia. The panels cover leaf functions, structure, shapes, and colours, as well as how natural and environmental factors trigger changes in leaf colour. The displays also examine leaf texture and surface structure.
The exhibition features categories including large outdoor plants, small desktop plants, aquatic plants, and pet-friendly foliage, along with practical care guides. Visitors can take part in workshops to create miniature aquatic plant terrariums, sachets, pressed-flower keychains, and plant magnets. Gardening instructors are on hand to guide participants in potting plants, and game booths are also available.
Two free lectures will be held at the Greenery Education and Resource Centre on 14 and 15 November, from 12:15 pm to 1:00 pm. The first lecture is titled “Conserving Hong Kong’s Agarwood” and the second “Mounting Foliage Plants on Boards”. Both will be conducted in Cantonese. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of each lecture.
