Under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the Bahrain International Garden Show (BIGS) returns to Exhibition World Bahrain in Sakhir from February 20 to 23, 2025. This premier event is a must-visit for gardening enthusiasts, agricultural professionals and sustainability advocates, offering a comprehensive glimpse into cutting-edge agricultural practices and innovations.
Recognised as one of the region’s leading exhibitions, BIGS has earned a stellar reputation for fostering connections and showcasing advancements in sustainable agriculture and gardening. Local and international companies alike utilise this platform to introduce pioneering products, services and technologies. By doing so, the exhibition bolsters the Kingdom’s agricultural sector and underscores its commitment to food security and environmental sustainability.
Visitors can look forward to an expanded farmers’ market pavilion, which highlights the vibrant local agricultural scene. This space provides Bahraini farmers with a unique opportunity to present their produce, engage with the public and promote access to fresh, home-grown goods. It’s an excellent chance for attendees to directly connect with the producers and learn about the farm-to-table process.
Beyond its role as a trade exhibition, BIGS also serves as an educational hub. Attendees can gain valuable insights into innovative garden care techniques, strategies for enhancing green spaces and methods for preserving the environment. Interactive displays and engaging workshops make it an enriching experience for visitors of all ages, fostering a deeper appreciation for sustainable living practices.
The event’s global appeal is undeniable, drawing exhibitors from 23 countries and attracting an audience of 45,000 during its last edition. For businesses, BIGS offers unparalleled opportunities to network with policymakers, industry leaders and innovators, paving the way for partnerships and market expansion. It’s a fertile ground for entrepreneurs to showcase cutting-edge solutions in gardening, food security and sustainability while meeting decision-makers eager to embrace novel ideas.
BIGS is not just a local affair; it’s a gateway to the thriving agro-business environment of Bahrain and the Arabian Gulf. With a growing demand for innovative solutions, the event exemplifies Bahrain’s leadership in promoting sustainable agricultural practices and fostering global collaboration.
A special highlight this year is the Bahrain Garden Club’s participation, marking its 60th anniversary. The club will host a series of competitions designed to celebrate the Kingdom’s rich agricultural heritage while inspiring creativity and community involvement. Open to both adults and school students, the competitions span more than 100 categories, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
