The cold winds are slowly creeping in and sweaters are out but a hot summer will surely make its way back to Los Baños! The LBHSI and UPOU-FMDS will lead the festivities as the 51st Los Baños Flower and Garden Show is set to return this coming 6-17 March 2024.
With the theme ‘Summer Festivals’, the Los Baños Horticulture Society Inc. (LBHSI), in collaboration with the Faculty of Management and Development Studies (FMDS) UPOU will again organize a venue for plantitas and plantitos to showcase their products and engage other community members in scheduled events and activities like dish garden competition and seminars.
Further updates will be posted in the FMDS UPOU and the UPOU Facebook page.
