The Ghana Garden and Flower Movement (GGFM) unveiled the symbol and theme for the 14th Ghana Garden and Flower Show at the DuBois Centre in Cantonments. Mrs Joyce Bawa Mogtari, Senior Presidential Adviser to President John Mahama, performed the unveiling of the 2026 Show symbol and theme, “Green Means Business, Beauty and More”. In her remarks, she shared some lessons from her visit to the Singapore Botanical Gardens, where an orchid was named after President Mahama.
She said the experience demonstrated how flowers and green spaces go beyond beauty, serving as symbols of national identity, diplomacy and opportunities for sustainable economic development. She noted that the theme for this year’s Show, “Green Means Business, Beauty and More,” reflects the reality that a thriving environment is not only a natural asset to be protected but also a foundation for economic growth, innovation, tourism, climate resilience and improved quality of life. She encouraged greater investment in green solutions and initiatives that create opportunities for businesses, young people and communities while promoting environmental sustainability.
Present at the launch were Dr Ishmael Nii Amanor Dodoo, the Chief Partnership Officer of the 24-Hour Economy & Accelerated Export Development Programme (24H+), exhibitors and media personnel from a number of media houses. Speaking at the launch, the Chief Executive Officer of Stratcomm Africa, Esther A.
