Show gardens of the Giardina 2026
Giardina's impressive exhibition gardens are the prestigious heart of the event. With great attention to detail and visionary ideas, Switzerland's finest horticulturists create magnificent horticultural works of art in the halls of Messe Zürich, ranging from compact 20 square metres to vast oases of over 400 square metres. For around two weeks, they work with dedication to create a unique spring atmosphere on site that transports visitors into a world filled with colourful flowers, lush greenery and inspiring design ideas.
In the three categories – IDEENGARTEN, SHOWGARTEN and MASTERGARDEN – gardening enthusiasts will discover a fascinating variety of concepts. Whether for spacious gardens, intimate pergolas, comfortable terraces or stylishly furnished balconies, nature lovers will find valuable ideas here for creating their own green haven of peace.
On 10 March 2026, the best concepts will be rewarded and announced.
Over the coming weeks, you will gradually find more exciting information about the show gardens here.
