Food preservation was another category where our famous chef from GK2, Mrs Swati Gupta Jain, won a prize for her pizza sauce. She won another prize on her cut salads section as well.
This time, apart from children’s painting competition, a hands-on pot plantation training was provided to children and they happily carried their pots home. There was a workshop on hands down terrarium by Mrs Simmi Khanna. It was a very interesting workshop and all participants enjoyed the workshop.

Lot of hard work was put in by members of AIKGA and the flower show, which was so vibrant and colourful, was a huge success.
