How does you Garden Glow with Dubai Garden Glow and HDYGG

We should've entered Za'abeel park through gate 6, but I find the roads a little complicated around that part of town and at 5pm, the Sheikh Zayed Road is a little busy and I really didn't want to negate the traffic. We were able to access the Garden Glow via a foot bridge, but sign posting wasn't too good and it took a while to find it. Just remember to turn at the Chinese Pagoda and all will be ok. You can buy tickets at any of the gates and they cost AED 60 each.



 Upon exiting the footbridge you are greeted by the dinosaurs, I wasn't too impressed with this part of the attraction, we walked through quickly and took few photo's, although I'm sure if I'd gone with small children it would've held more excitement.

Interactive musical lights.






 Back into Za'abeel park and home. There were many families having picnics and BBQ's in designated areas, there was even a wedding party, with tables and chairs and caterers.
Dubai Garden Glow is only open during the winter months.

How do your seedlings grow in Dubai with HDYGG?

My attitude to gardening is 'throw it in and see'
We'll it's now time to transplant into bigger pots and try to work out what everything is.






I bought 2 of these with no idea what I was buying, now it's flowered I can see it's an eggplant.

A couple of 'guess the plant' to fill up two hangers.

My strawberry seeds came to nothing and I'm still waiting for the garden centre to get some plants in so I can fill these hangers.

My mother is visiting for the next 3 weeks and is 'green fingered' although she says she's not prepared to do any weeding as it's still too hot for her, coming from the UK.

We have trips to the Botanical gardens, Miracle garden and Za'beel Park for the How does your Garden Glow night display.
