Garden Club de Monaco will bring a burst of colour to the Principality this May, marking the 57th International Bouquet Competition alongside the return of Monaco en Fleurs, a citywide floral initiative.
Founded by Princess Grace in 1968, the Garden Club continues its tradition under the presidency of Princess of Hanover, who will also lead the special jury for the competition. The main event will take place on 9 and 10 May at the Yacht Club de Monaco, under the High Patronage of Prince Albert II.
This year’s theme, Celeste, invites participants to interpret celestial phenomena through floral design. Open to both amateurs and professionals, the competition features a variety of categories, including large-scale installations, table settings and artistic wall compositions. A dedicated category for young participants highlights the event’s inclusive spirit.
The exhibition will be open to the public free of charge, with visitors able to admire the floral creations across both days, alongside demonstrations and talks led by experts in the field.
Running concurrently from 4th to 10th May, Monaco en Fleurs will transform the streets of Monaco into a floral trail. Local retailers are invited to decorate their shop windows, creating an immersive experience across key areas of the city, including Rue Princesse Caroline and Boulevard des Moulins.
Together, the two events highlight Monaco’s commitment to creativity, tradition and community engagement, offering residents and visitors a unique opportunity to experience the art of floristry in all its forms.
