Since its inception, the Garden and Flower Movement’s contribution to sustainability has been phenomenal. This year, Stratcomm Africa celebrated ten years of its mission to promote a greener, healthier, wealthier, cleaner, and a more beautiful Ghana.
The 10th-anniversary themed Growth Unleashed began from the end of August to early September with a range of spectacular activities at the Efua Sutherland Park. With a daily exhibition and networking session at the Efua Sutherland Children’s Park, all planned activities for the decade-old event were remarkable and worth remembering.
Here are a few highlights from Stratcomm Africa’s Ghana Garden and Flower Fashion Show 2022.
