Spring Blossoms
Gallop into Prosperity

The poetic elegance of classical Chinese culture comes to the fore at this year’s Spring Blossoms (春花盛开之骏马奔腾) floral display, an inaugural collaboration with leading China landscape company Shanghai Gardens Group.

As the Lunar New Year heralds new beginnings and good fortune, the eight horses symbolise strength, vitality and success, and are inspired by Ba Jun Tu (八骏图), the iconic ink brush painting depicting horses in spirited gallop. The surrounding landscape draws inspiration from the aesthetics of Jiangnan Gardens, celebrated for their tranquil harmony with nature and regarded as masterpieces of garden design. Echoing the Chinese literati of the past, who sought rest and reflection in such spaces, visitors are invited to stroll through moon gates or pause at pavilions while admiring seasonal blooms, including dahlias, and azaleas.

Before you go, take a moment to admire the Blooming Drum of Spring, decorated with the classic Baoxiang Flower motif where lotus, peony and foliage intertwine. After all, the auspicious Chinese saying Hua Gu Ming Chun (花鼓鸣春) means “the beating of flower drums heralds the arrival of Spring”! -gardensbythebay
