The Bahrain Garden Club (BGC) today announced the winners of the fifty-sixth edition of the Annual Flower and Vegetable Competition.

The honouring ceremony was attended by Shaikha Maram bint Isa Al Khalifa, Secretary-General of the National Initiative for Agricultural Development (NIAD), the Japanese Ambassador, the Club board members and the winners.

In her welcoming remarks, BGC Chairperson Zahra Abdulmalik praised the continuous support of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, Wife of His Majesty the King and NIAD Advisory Board Chairperson, and her continued interest in the development of the agricultural sector in Bahrain.

The outcome of this great interest is obvious in the fact that there are more than 45 winners in the 56th annual flower and vegetable competition who share the love of gardening and contribute to spreading the culture of public participation in expanding green spaces in Bahrain.

The BSG Chairperson pointed to the success of the Forever Green campaign, the major initiative launched by NIAD under the auspices of HRH Princess Sabeeka.

The chairperson highlighted the activities and competitions initiated by BGC to support the ambitious environmental campaign, by choosing the logo of the photography competition for the Cup of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa in its 22nd edition, and creating new competition for home gardens, “Sustainable Garden”.

The club was also engaged in several other activities.
