Plant lovers can discover the variety of foliage plants and pick up some gardening tips at a free exhibition at Kowloon Park this weekend.

Titled "A Kaleidoscope of Foliage Plants", the exhibition will run on November 14 and 15, from 10am to 5pm, at the park's Arcade and Green Education and Resource Centre.

Unlike flowering plants, foliage plants are valued for their leaves, which come in a wide range of shapes, colours and textures. Many are easy to care for and adapt well to indoor environments. Popular examples in Hong Kong include snake plants, Swiss cheese plants and nerve plants.

The exhibition will introduce visitors to different types of foliage plants, from large outdoor varieties to compact desktop plants, as well as aquatic and pet-friendly options. Visitors can also learn about leaf structures, natural colour changes and basic plant care.

Hands-on activities will add to the experience, with workshops on making mini aquatic plant bottles, scented sachets and pressed-flower accessories. Visitors can also try pot planting with guidance from horticulture instructors and take part in game stalls.
