“We’ll be back next year. The overall vibe at gardiente is really good. Our expectations were met on all counts. Everyone who’s anyone is represented here, making it well worth the visit.”
MARC-ANDRÉ M. BALLÓ – ARTELIA
“The trade fair was really well organised! I’ve never been to a fair that provides you with a buffet. The atmosphere here is also very congenial. There’s plenty of quality and diversity, so it’s never long before you find something you want to offer in your shop. The Garden market is still gaining ground. The more diverse the choice of products, the better.“
BETTINA POETKENS – ARCHITEKTURBÜRO POETKENS
“gardiente offers an excellent overview of the industry and sheds light on the latest trends. The portfolio provides a good mix of brands. Our expectations have definitely been met!”
BURKHARD BEHN, CULTBOXX
“The exhibitors can spend time with their customers, which I think is fabulous. There’s no other fair quite like it in that respect. The overall set-up – with gardiente night and the catering – are brilliant. As a garden furniture retailer, you can see pretty much all your manufacturers in one place, so you don’t have to go to any in-house fairs. It’s a really efficient way to do business!”
PETER LUDWIG, PL MEDIA
“It was our first time at gardiente and we couldn’t be happier! It’s a very informal and pleasant trade fair with fantastic service. And we really like the overall offering. The quality of the contacts we forged here was extremely high. We were really pleased with the calibre of specialist retailers.”

“gardiente brings the industry together. The fact that you have time at gardiente night to talk to people is good for the industry. It’s almost like being part of a family. The atmosphere here gives you time to tackle things properly. You’re not rushing from stand to stand, or from hall to hall, so you can focus and pay more attention to detail.”
Tim Dargel, KETTLER
“I really enjoy coming to gardiente. I think the overall concept and how it’s implemented is really great. And I’d say it’s improved over the years. It’s a perfect fit for our company. Our suppliers have more time for us and it’s smaller which makes it more personal. It gives us good early guidance for the whole year ahead.”
Barbara Bänninger, Hunn Gartenmöbel AG
“gardiente is a bit like an industry gathering. You have the chance to chat to colleagues in the business. The visitors take a real interest in everything and take time to have proper in-depth conversations. I’d say this typifies the fair. Because it’s small and intimate and everyone has time to talk and engage with each other. You can tell the organisers think about how to make the event even better every year. Everyone is highly motivated and does their absolute best. We’ll definitely be back again next year.”
Rainer Danner, höfats
“This is an important expo for us as a manufacturer because it enables us to approach our customers and unveil our new products early on. The sooner we know that people like what we’re doing, the sooner we can start planning production volumes. And that, in turn, is important for guaranteeing availability throughout the season.”
Lisa Titzmann · Marketing Stern GmbH & Co. KG
“gardiente was a resounding success. We’ve been coming here for several years and we’ll definitely be back next year. The fair is well set out, enabling you to talk to everyone at length and yet, it’s still expansive and diverse.”
Iris Ahmas Marketing · HS Fachmarkt Vertriebs-GmbH · Garten-und-Freizeit.de
“The quality of the visitors is well above average and the opportunity to talk to them at length gives us valuable insights that allow us to finalise our product ranges for the coming season. For their part, the trade buyers have the chance to view the latest trends early on, enabling them to keep their competitive edge by making the right choices for the year ahead. I’d like to pass on my compliments to the organisers who couldn’t have done a better job. The catering is excellent, as was the outdoor area. The customers and suppliers all felt very much at home and it’s great to forge contacts with our industry colleagues as well. We’ll definitely be back next year.”
Jan Kurtz · CEO Jan Kurtz GmbH
“I think this is a really pleasant trade fair, the hospitality is fabulous and we’re looked after so well; you don’t find that at many fairs these days. On the whole, we were very pleasantly surprised.”
