With springtime comes the start of garden shows and Germany has a long tradition of landesgartenschau that are sure to delight gardening enthusiasts. Some of the major horticultural events for 2011 include:

Bundesgartenschau 2015
(17 April – 18 October)

Bundesgartenschau in Koblenz is one of the biggest garden shows on the German landesgartenschau calendar.  The Bundesgartenschau exhibition space is spread across three sites: the Elector’s Palace, Blumenhof Gardens by the Deutsches Eck and the fortress plateau of Ehrenbreitstein. Visitors can glide over beds of flowers in the new Koblenz cable car and enjoy a spectacular view of the Rhine.

In addition to the floral spectacle, visitors to Bundesgartenschau in Rhineland-Palatinate can look forward to a variety of music, theatre and sporting activities. During the day, there will be literary readings on themes such as flowers, trees and gardens. And as night falls, illuminations will transform the entire grounds into a magnificent display of light. The Summer of Culture 2011 in Rhineland-Palatinate will be officially opened as part of the event.

Landesgartenschau Deggendorf 2014 (25 April to 5 October)

Deggendorf is in the process of preparing itself for the Landesgartenschau Deggendorf 2014.  The city’s northern bank of the Danube is being turned into a high quality park and recreation area not just for the State Garden show, but also as long-term amenities for the citizens of Deggendorf and for visitors.  A new pedestrian bridge over the Danube will also better connect the right bank of Deggendorf to the town centre of Deggendorf.

The Bavarian Regional Garden Show takes place in Kitzingen this year under the banner ‘Garden city on the River’.
