The story

Ghana Garden and Flower Show in Accra

Founded in 2013 by Esther Cobbah's Stratcomm Africa, the Ghana Garden and Flower Show has grown from fourteen exhibitors to well over a hundred, now running across more than a week at Accra's Efua Sutherland Children's Park. Each edition carries a theme tied to urban greening and horticulture as a livelihood, not just decoration. It suits visitors interested in landscaping, plant nurseries and Ghana's push toward greener cities.

Esther Cobbah, founder of the communications firm Stratcomm Africa, launched the Ghana Garden and Flower Show in August 2013 with fourteen exhibitors and about fourteen hundred visitors, a modest start for what has become one of the country's more closely watched seasonal events.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What separates this from a purely ornamental flower show is its explicit framing around livelihoods: the organizing Ghana Garden and Flower Movement ties the event to Ghana's biodiversity, income-generation through horticulture, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, rather than treating plants as a purely decorative subject

02

The mystery stays covered

Growth from fourteen exhibitors in its first year to well over a hundred within six years reflects genuine expansion in Ghana's horticultural trade rather than a static annual fair

03

The city starts moving

The event also proved adaptable, moving to a fully virtual format during a year when in-person gathering was impossible, and each edition carries a distinct theme addressing a specific urban or environmental concern rather than repeating a generic garden-show format
