The annual Oleander festival is slated to be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 21st and 22nd at the Moody Gardens Visitor Center, 1 Hope Blvd. Dating back to the 1920s, the event has always been an island institution. This year, the organizers are planning to include the young generation of gardeners and nature enthusiasts with a series of youth-friendly activities.
The event is hosted by the International Oleander Society, formed in 1967 to preserve the oleander, also the official flower of Galveston and identify the different varieties. The festivities include oleander displays, a floral design competition for children and adults, nature tours and an art and photo contest for elementary, middle and high school students. Admission is free for all activities and it is open for all age groups.
