The Halo Foundation recently announced its support for the Antigua and Barbuda Horticultural Society (ABHS) as the organisation prepares to make its debut at the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society’s (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show in May 2025.
According to a press release, this partnership is aimed at recognising and uplifting local organisations under the patronage of the Governor General that attempt to contribute to the nation’s development.
Set to take place from May 20-24, 2025 at the Royal Hospital Chelsea grounds in London, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is internationally revered as a premier event in horticulture, showcasing cutting-edge garden design and the latest landscaping trends. The participation of the ABHS marks a historic milestone for Antigua and Barbuda, bringing the island’s rich horticultural heritage to a global audience.
In an expression of commitment, the Halo Foundation has contributed $5,000 towards the various expenses associated with participation in the event. This financial support underscores Halo’s dedication to promoting Caribbean excellence in various areas , including culture and the arts.
Following a thorough review of the ABHS’ proposed landscape exhibition entitled “Antigua and Barbuda – A Glimpse into the Past”, Governor General Sir Rodney Williams emphasised the importance of Caribbean exhibitors in enhancing cultural representation at international events and creating valuable media exposure for Antigua and Barbuda.
Established in 1956 , the Antigua and Barbuda Horticultural Society serves as a vital resource for education and information on horticulture and agriculture, benefiting both residents and visitors alike.
The Halo Foundation, celebrating a decade of impactful service to the people of Antigua and Barbuda, has launched its “Ten Months of Giving” campaign.
This initiative seeks to honour and support organisations under its patronage that have made significant contributions to the community from March through December 2025.
