Inside Ahmedabad Biggest Flower Market
Inside Ahmedabad Flower Market
Jamalpur Flower Market is Ahmedabad’s biggest flower market. On a busy day, which is almost every day in the week, you can see a sea of vendors at the Jamalpur bridge. The market mainly trades in rajnigandha, mogra, jasmine, and roses. The flower market in Ahmedabad was established in 1989 and since then, the market has flourished exponentially. Besides, fresh flower bouquets, you can also witness a range of fake flowers for home décor for sale here for reasonable prices. The only reason that vendors are making a beeline for fake flowers is the lack of proper infrastructure to store their flowers to prevent them from wilting. Flower market in some other Indian cities is available in Mumbai, Pune flower market, Delhi and few others as well.
The market sees a surging demand in mogra and marigold flowers during festive and wedding season. On special days, such as Valentine’s Day and New Year’s eve, rose, tulips and orchids are very much in demand.
