Faithful to its original mission to bring together all garden, terrace or balcony aficionados, the show has extended with more nature-related sections such as eco-tourism and is now adding a wing dedicated to environment oriented associations and companies.

The theme for 2013 is “Water, source of life”Beautiful to contemplate, pleasant to listen to, refreshing for the atmosphere and amusing for all the family, water is a vital element for every garden. Throughout history and all over the world, waterfalls, ponds, swimming pools, fountains and the like have been the highlight of historical and public gardens. This is still the case nowadays and all garden owners are keen to add water elements to their outdoors. Water is a precious natural resource that must be preserved and saved. To celebrate this noble element, water will be the theme of 2013 edition.

The 10th edition of The Garden Show & Spring Festival promises to build upon its previous successes and keep on enhancing the great Lebanese Outdoor Way of Life.
