With summer in full swing, it’s too hot to spend any time outdoors admiring flowers in their natural habitat – so Dubai’s BurJuman mall is offering the next best thing. Running until September, the mall’s Flower Power festival features a kaleidoscope of floral displays, hands-on and informative workshops for adults, and a dedicated children’s area, all designed to celebrate the floral form in all its colourful glory.
Meander through the mall’s 100-plus floral exhibits and installations, and you’ll find attractions such as the Singing Plants – a lush garden of hanging greenery housed in pots. The plants are linked to a sound system, so when you stroll past, each plant serenades you with a song. Meanwhile, the Magical Night Garden is housed in a colourful cave, complete with glowing blooms and bulbs.
To keep younger visitors amused, daily workshops take place in the Kids’ Activity Area. Events include the Floral Princess Makeover and balloon bending, in addition to arts-and-crafts and dance workshops, which offer a perfect opportunity to get youngsters’ creative juices flowing during the summer holidays. You can register children on the spot to participate.
For adults who fancy something more hands-on, try out one of the free weekly workshops running throughout the festival. Options include floral-inspired cake decorating, as well as expert artistic instruction on how to paint, draw, photograph and arrange flowers.
