Europe’s largest horticultural fair opens in Tulln

Blooming Stories and Melodies

The central attraction of the event is Europe’s largest flower exhibition, which this year is built around the theme “Blooming Stories and Melodies”. Around 200,000 flowers will be transformed into spectacular compositions inspired by literary classics (“Around the World in 80 Days”, “Perfume”), famous musicals (“The Phantom of the Opera”, “Moulin Rouge”, “Romeo and Juliet”), and operas (“Aida”, “The Magic Flute”).

Thematic Gardens and Displays

Visitors can admire, among others, the “Asian Garden” by Starkl Nursery, the “Colorful Autumn Garden” of Praskac Plant World, the “Living in the Green” concept of Kittenberger Adventure Gardens, and the “Happy Lower Austria” botanical collection of the Lower Austrian Chamber of Agriculture. On the ORF NÖ stage, gardening tips, floral arranging shows, and young talents will also take the spotlight.

Water in the Garden – Pools and Natural Baths

Hall 3 will focus entirely on water: modern swimming pools, natural bathing ponds, pool enclosures, hot tubs, outdoor saunas, and a wide range of accessories await visitors. Those interested in gardening technology, tools, and solar solutions for the garden will also find a rich selection.

New: Garden Barbecuing

A new theme at the fair is garden barbecuing – on Thursday, August 28 at 4:00 p.m., in the western outdoor area, Adi Matzek, two-time world barbecue champion, will host a live grilling show.

Autumn is Planting Season

The exhibition will feature a wide range of flowers, flower bulbs, fruit and ornamental trees, perennials, and vegetables – making it the ideal opportunity for autumn planting and garden shopping.
