The Horticulture Department, the Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat and Siri Horticulture Association are jointly organising flower and fruit show to mark the Republic Day from January 26 to January 29 at Kadri Park in the city.
A press release here said that the show is being organised to encourage residents to indulge in gardening and horticulture activities.
