The second edition of the Valletta Green Festival was inaugurated this morning at St George’s Square in Valletta by the Valletta 2018 Foundation.

The opening ceremony included the inauguration of a colourful infiorata, which was constructed overnight by Environmental Landscape Consortium workers.

Made up of over 80,000 seasonal potted flowering plants which were placed next to each other, the infiorata features a spiral design. Artist Daniel Mercieca was inspired by the Maltese megalithic temples – a strong primal symbol of Malta’s cultural heritage.
