Why visit
Visitors see full-scale garden installations, plant nurseries, outdoor kitchens, pools and water features, and green-roof and irrigation technology in one pavilion. The format suits homeowners sourcing ideas and suppliers, as well as architects, landscape designers and hotel or restaurant operators comparing materials and planting schemes for a live project. The March dates let buyers place orders before the spring installation season.
Why exhibit
Exhibiting puts a brand in front of homeowners with active garden budgets and trade specifiers who influence projects across Lombardy and northern Italy. The organiser caps exhibitor numbers by category, which limits direct duplication on the floor. A Brescia location on the Milan-Venice corridor keeps travel practical for Italian and international teams, and the show's seminar programme gives suppliers a platform beyond the stand.

Impact
A bigger and stronger platform
Cosmogarden matters most to buyers furnishing or renovating an outdoor space in northern Italy. Its March timing sits just before the spring installation peak, when homeowners, landscape contractors and hospitality operators are ready to commit budgets. The single-pavilion format and category caps keep the floor focused, but the show is smaller than Milan's Myplant & Garden, so it works best as a consumer-facing launch and lead-generation stop rather than a broad international sourcing trip.
Audience quality
High-value decision-makers
The audience mixes affluent homeowners, garden enthusiasts and trade specifiers from Brescia, Milan, Verona and the Lombard lakes. Exhibitors reported growth in visitors from outside Lombardy at the 2024 edition, which supports the show's regional pull. Trade density is highest on Monday, while the weekend brings purchase-ready consumers. International buyer attendance is limited, so export-focused brands should treat it as a domestic and Alpine-market play.
Exhibitor outcomes
Real business growth
ROI depends on direct sales: the show allows on-stand selling, so nurseries, outdoor furniture and pool brands can recover stand costs during the event rather than waiting for post-show quotes. A 9-24 sqm shell stand is enough for product display, while garden contractors need a larger raw space for a full installation. Budget for Italian-language graphics, lead capture and a 48-hour follow-up on quotes; no audited ROI or rebooking rate has been published.
Intelligence
Market context
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Lombardy, Northern Italy
Why it matters
Brescia and the Lombard lakes belt have a dense base of villas, farmhouses and hospitality properties with gardens to renovate. The show's spring slot lands just before the planting and installation season, when homeowners and landscape contractors commit budgets. Its Milan-Venice axis position also pulls exhibitors and buyers from Veneto and Emilia-Romagna.
Industry trends
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
01
Outdoor rooms replace decorative gardens
Buyers increasingly want gardens and terraces to work as extra living space, with shade, lighting, outdoor kitchens and weatherproof furniture specified together rather than as separate purchases.
What it changes: Suppliers who can package furniture, shade and cooking into one scheme win larger projects and reduce the number of suppliers a buyer must coordinate.
02
Water use and climate-ready planting
Lombardy's hotter, drier summers are pushing designers toward drought-tolerant planting, drip irrigation, rainwater storage and permeable surfaces, with pools and biolakes specified alongside planting.
What it changes: Nurseries and irrigation brands can position climate resilience as a premium service rather than a commodity plant sale.
03
Green technology becomes a specification category
Green roofs, solar shading, recycled decking and permeable paving now appear in residential and hospitality projects as named specifications, not add-ons.
What it changes: Brands with certified performance data and installable systems are better placed to be specified by architects and landscape designers.

Answers
Frequently asked
When is Cosmogarden 2027?
Cosmogarden 2027 runs from Saturday 6 March to Monday 8 March 2027 at Brixia Forum in Brescia. The three-day format starts on the weekend and continues into Monday, giving trade visitors a weekday window alongside the consumer weekend. Confirm exact daily opening hours on the official site before travelling.
Where is Cosmogarden held?
Cosmogarden is held at Brixia Forum, the Fiera di Brescia exhibition centre at Via Caprera 5, 25125 Brescia, in the Lombardy region of northern Italy. The venue sits on the Milan-Venice motorway axis and is served by Brescia's metro and bus network. It is roughly 55 km from Milan Bergamo airport.
Is Cosmogarden 2027 free?
No free 2027 admission has been announced. The organiser has not published the 2027 ticket tariff on the official site. The 2019 edition charged EUR 10 at the door, with a EUR 7 presale rate, so budget for a paid ticket and check the official ticketing page closer to the show.
Who should exhibit at Cosmogarden?
Cosmogarden suits nurseries, garden contractors, outdoor furniture and pergola brands, pool and biolake specialists, irrigation and green-technology suppliers, and outdoor-kitchen companies. The organiser selects exhibitors by category and caps numbers to limit duplication. Brands targeting homeowners and landscape professionals in Lombardy and northern Italy get the closest fit.
Is Cosmogarden open to the public?
Yes. Cosmogarden is a public show with a strong trade component. Homeowners and garden enthusiasts attend alongside landscape architects, agronomists, hotel and restaurant operators, and condominium administrators. The weekend opening supports consumer footfall, while Monday gives trade buyers and specifiers a quieter day for supplier meetings.
How many editions of Cosmogarden have there been?
The 2027 show is the fourth edition. The first ran in 2019, the second in 2022 and the third in 2024 at Brixia Forum. That history makes it a relatively young but established Italian garden event, with the 2027 edition expanding its focus from gardens to the wider outdoor-living market.
What can visitors see at Cosmogarden?
The floor is organised around five themes: landscape and garden design, outdoor living and furniture, water and pool, green technology and materials, and botanica and nursery plants. Visitors can compare full garden installations, plants, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, pools and irrigation systems, and attend seminars and workshops running alongside the exhibition.
How do I register as a Cosmogarden exhibitor?
Exhibitor applications go through the official Cosmogarden site, where the organiser asks for company details and product category. An internal committee reviews each request and replies with availability and stand options. Because the organiser limits exhibitor numbers per category, early application matters, especially for nurseries and garden-construction firms.
How large is the Cosmogarden venue?
Brixia Forum has roughly 20,000 sqm of exhibition space, which lets Cosmogarden stage full garden installations alongside indoor furniture and technology stands. The single-pavilion layout keeps the show walkable in a day. The venue is at Via Caprera 5 in Brescia, with parking on site and metro and bus connections to the city centre.
