The governor was accompanied by Dr. Ahmed Anwar Attia Al-Adel, Deputy Governor for the Western Region, and several other high-ranking officials from the governorate.

It showcases various types of ornamental plants, shade plants, cacti, fruit seedlings, and garden landscaping materials, as well as modern irrigation systems. The event provides an opportunity for visitors to learn about plants suitable for homes, balconies, and gardens, promoting a culture of afforestation and community participation in increasing green spaces.
The exhibition also features a section for handmade and traditional crafts, as well as products from productive families, including mountain honey, extra-virgin olive oil, medicinal herbs, and handmade pottery.
