 The
Festival of Flowers promotes an interest in gardening
and beautification, and encourages the preservation
of the natural beauty that is so much a part of
Mobile’s heritage, while furthering the
health care mission of Providence Hospital. The
photography competition emulates those principles
and embraces the theme selected for the annual
exhibition.
