Conclusion
For those heading to this year's flower and garden festival, make sure you check the weather and also the timings.
Weekends will see a very large crowd here, so if you do not like crowds, go on the weekdays as it will be less crowded. You might even bump into me there as I will be going due to my love for orchids.
