Czechoslovak Autumn Flora Olomouc is subtitled Common Roots

Tens of tons of tempting vegetables and fragrant fruits, thousands of colourful flowers and fifty trees. All this is part of the main exhibition in Hall A at this year’s Flora Olomouc – Hortikomplex. It was literally filled with the whole of Czechoslovakia full of greenery, colours and scents. A unique world that people have only four days to visit. On Sunday, it will disappear irretrievably.

The autumn Flora with the subtitle Common Roots commemorates the division of the common Czech-Slovak state, but with a reminder that the alliance still exists.

“The centrepiece of the main exhibition is the Czechoslovak Republic planted with real trees and illuminated with floral decorations. Along the sides of the pavilion and above the heads of visitors there will be space for the presentation of top agricultural produce from Czech, Moravian and Slovak fruit and vegetable producers,” said Eva Fuglíčková, director of the Flora Exhibition Centre.

The authors of the main exhibition are renowned florists Pavlína Švecová and Zdeněk Kupilík. Thanks to their project, thirty tons of vegetables and fruit, four and a half thousand cut and potted flowers and fifty trees have appeared in Hall A with an area of four thousand square metres.

Associated with the autumn exhibition is the Horticultural Market with a wide range of plants and gardening supplies. More than 120 vendors have arrived, and wine tastings, a beekeeping exhibition, and the Flora basket fruit spirits show are also an integral part of the event.
