GARTENTRÄUME HAVIXBECK 2026: Where Gardens Become Artistic Havens (May 23-25, 2026)
Mark your calendars for the highly anticipated return of GARTENTRÄUME HAVIXBECK, a premier biennial garden exhibition that transcends the typical flower show.

The core concept revolves around show gardens meticulously crafted by renowned landscape architects and designers from across Germany and beyond.

Expect to be inspired by clever use of materials, innovative planting schemes, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and solutions for diverse garden sizes and styles, from compact urban oases to sprawling country estates.
