Nai Lert Flower and Garden Art Fair 2018

The annual Nai Lert Flower and Garden Art Fair is organised to showcase the best in garden design, flower sculptures, authentic and modern floral craftsmanship as well as to encourage young local artists through art and culture.

Held annually for the past 30 years, the 2018 edition will take place at Park of Nai Lert in the heart of Bangkok, from  February 2-4, from 9 am to 8 pm. The three-day Nai Lert Flower and Garden Art Fair 2018 will feature the following ‘X Factors’:

The outdoor flower and art show that features sculptures from renowned local artists such as Pongsatat Uaiklang, Prajak Supantee and many more, together with flower sculptures designed by leading florists Sakchai Guy, Sakul Intakul and Chayaporn Tometh, among others.

This event offers a platform for talented young artists to showcase their skills and creativity, with three competitions:

• Flower Sculpture Competition “Legacy of Thai Flowers”
• Garden Design Competition “Celebration of the Seasons”
• Wedding Showcase Competition “Love In Bloom”

The 1st prize for all three competitions is a trip to London to visit the Chelsea Flower Show as well as a trophy and cash reward.

The jewel in the Park of Nai Lert’s crown is the Heritage Home, which is not only a timeless legacy in itself but also displays the evolution of flowers from traditional craftsmanship through modern-day innovation. Not to be missed is the highlight feature of the event, the 450-square-metre floral carpet, which is believed to be one of the largest floral carpets ever created in Asia.
