Under Flower Show-2026, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has installed a sprinkling irrigation network system over an area of 10,524 sq metres at the event ground on the Sabarmati Riverfront for the maintenance of seasonal plants installed for display, instead of traditional watering methods such as tractors or pipes

The `Achievements of India` zone highlights modern India`s progress through floral displays depicting high-speed rail, renewable energy, sports achievements, space technology and excellence in education. The zone reflects a balanced development between India`s rich heritage with future-focused innovation

A special zone dedicated to various Indian festivals has also been prepared in the exhibition. Here, through floral art, the message of light and hope of Diwali, the colours and joy of Holi, the traditional grace of Onam and the rhythmic celebrations of Bihu will be brought to life
