Childhood memories of Montse Cremades, a citizen of our Girona,
"Almost all the houses in the Old Town of Girona have always had a little garden, a terrace, a patio … More than fifty years ago, the mistresses of these houses had geraniums, hydrangeas, carnations,... a little precious space and they were all competing with each other to have the most beautiful flower corner of the city.
One day, a group of people had the idea that it would be interesting and nice to show all these plants to the public, so they could also enjoy them. The chosen month was May, because it is the best time when flowers bloom in all their colours, and the perfect place for it would be Sant Pere de Galligants Church, which by itself is a jewel.
So people got to work: the organizations commented to women in the old town to bring their plants, everyone could participate on this. All plants and flowers were shown, and it was a jury who gave a winning prize to the plant they considered the best. Then and there the flower festival “Temps de Flors” started.
Every year more and more people involved with the exhibition, including individuals, florists, companies,… Even foreign people came to expose! And each time the exhibition was bigger and bigger! Sant Pere de Galligants Church became too small, and the exhibition was opened to the nearest streets and courtyards.
Josep Tarrés, one of the promoters of this event, has told us something new coming this year:
“In the plaça del Pou Rodó there will be a stage with concerts almost every night, and there will be a flower shop, to remember the origins of this event”.
