Creativity is best seen when children are given the freedom to fly with their imagination, and SAGES (Shimla Amateur Garden and Environment Society) made the right decision this year when they held a Flower Festival for the City School Students in Gaiety Hall. The event had six items in which the children had to showcase their imagination and ingenuity. These were Flower Arrangement; Toys with Fruits, Vegetables and Flowers; Rangoli with Flower Petals; Flower Vase Making; Identify the Flower and Photo Display. The best part of this festival was that there was no competition. The only prize that will be given would be a Sages Running Trophy to the school that identifies the maximum number of flowers.

Sages Flower FestivalFor each event, the students were given clear-cut instructions before hand. Excitement galored as students made their items. The Hall was abuzz with their faint chatter as they made their presentations with a free mind. The Rangoli of flowers depicted various colours of life, from lord ganesha to a peacock or the map of India. The cut fruits were impeccably carved in various shapes and designs, each showcasing creativity and skills of the students. Flower arrangements too were a sight too see, each item was unique and meaningful. Nature photography too was an impressive part of the event.

Ex-President M R Sharma said, “This time we did not organize a competition, we are celebrating life and hence this was a “Festival of Flowers”, children will get a free hand in showcasing their creativity without any pressure to win a prize.
