Nearly 1,500 ornamental plant masterpieces gather at Hue Imperial Palace

Co Ha Garden serves as the exhibition space for bonsai masterpieces and ornamental stones

The event is organized by Hue Festival Organizing Committee and Hue Monuments Conservation Center, and will run until April 28.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Le Cong Son, Deputy Director of Hue Monuments Conservation Center, noted that the exhibition is an annual activity that enriches the Festival’s series of events. After more than 15 years of consistent organization, it has become one of the country’s largest ornamental plant events, drawing active participation from artisans across all three regions.

This year’s exhibition is the largest ever, featuring over 50 clubs and associations, and more than 600 artisans. The display brings together more than 1,400 masterpieces, including over 1,000 orchid pots, more than 400 bonsai trees, and around 50 artistic ornamental stones of diverse types.

Bonsai trees with elegant shapes and styles

A notable feature is the spatial arrangement across the Royal Treasury Palace areas, Co Ha Garden, and Thieu Phuong Garden. The ornamental plant masterpieces are harmoniously arranged within the ancient imperial architecture, creating a unique blend of natural art and heritage.

The exhibition is open free of charge in the evenings from April 24 to 28, offering an additional option for locals and visitors when visiting Hue Imperial Citadel during this period.

Within the framework of the exhibition, various side activities are also held, including forums for exchange and discussion on orchid industry development, and demonstrations of bonsai craftsmanship,... These activities help connect the artisan community while promoting the development of ornamental plant movement nationwide.
