Garden is a place to relax
In spring and summer, garden becomes a place of rest. A place to relax after a hard day, a place of fun for children, and, above all, an area where you can develop your passions. The green space comes to life, becoming beautiful, colourful and fascinating. But before the spring finally arrives to the green area, you have to engage in a number of responsibilities. The lovers of greenery have to, e.g. regenerate the lawn after winter, plant flowers, trim trees or organize gardening tools.

The GARDENIA Fair is primarily an exceptionally extensive exhibition. From year to year, the number of exhibitors competing in unusual arrangements on their stands is growing.
