Flower Day Victoria Square


The  National Flower Day was an annual event every spring organized by the Adelaide City Council between the years of 1938 to 1975.  The people from Adelaide took part by making floral displays and presentalions throughout the city. The War Memorial and the lawns around Government House and Victoria Square were favoured sites for the event.

The Greek Women;s Society participated regularly  in Flower Day by preparing a floral display in Victoria Square and even won 2nd prize one year with their entry of Pegasus the mythical flying horse.
