This month, Ayala Malls will feature a diverse display of Philippine orchids and ornamental plants in its gardens and open spaces

Now there’s more reason to visit and enjoy the scenery at Ayala Malls as this month of April, the well-groomed gardens and open spaces of its different properties get an upgrade by way of an exhibit featuring Philippine orchids and ornamental plants. In addition to the display, the company also launches the “Lov’Em Blooms” campaign in support of sustainable green living through various events and activities.

The first of the activities lined up for Lov’Em Blooms is the Green Walks, which is a guided learning experience wherein speakers from the Philippine Native Plants Conservation Society will share trivia about the different flora that are displayed. This activity will happen on April 9 at Greenbelt, April 10 at Trinoma, April 16 at Fairview Terraces, April 23 at Ayala Malls Solenad, and May 7 at Alabang Town Centre.

Another activity to look out for is Art by the Garden, where arts and crafts workshops will be held at the different malls. On May 7 and 8, Alabang Town Centre will organise a flower watercolour painting session, Van Gogh Paint by Number workshop, and still life flower sketching at the Corte De Las Palmas and Town Plaza. On May 20 to 22, Greenbelt will hold flora and fauna watercolour and sketch art activities, as well as a selling of art and craft materials. On May 22, Trinoma will have its own series of arts and crafts workshops at the fourth level garden.

Those who are interested in growing their own gardens can attend the Meet Your Gardener talk on May 7 at Greenbelt, and take part in afternoon tea by the garden on May 8, in conjunction with Mother’s Day.

The best blooms deserve to be seen by everyone, which is why guests can get a glimpse of alluring arrangements made by local producers, growers, florists, designers, stylists, and local botanical suppliers inside the malls. The display will commence on April 15 to 17 at Greenbelt, May 6 to 15 at Ayala Centre Cebu, May 7 to 8 at Alabang Town Centre, May 6 to 8 at Abreeza Mall, May 21 to 22 at Trinoma, June 3 to 5 at Glorietta, June 22 to 26 at Fairview Terraces, and June 24 to 26 at Centrio Mall.
