Event: Greece - Athens

Athens In Bloom

When:	May 2008 (annual)
Where:	National Gardens

Every year, Greece surrenders to the arms of spring. Floral displays are set up in the heart of Athens and a series of celebrations take place in Syndagma Square, the National Garden and many Athenian neighbourhoods.

As an offshoot of the well-established flower show held in Kifissia Park since the 1930s, Athens In Bloom remains but a bud. It does, however, feature a more contemporary approach in displaying the wondrous flora that springtime in Greece affords. Tulips, crocuses, hyacinths, narcissuses, dahlias, roses, begonias and carnations are exhibited alongside rarer plant species from around the country.
