Glossary

1

Gartenmesse

German for garden fair: a consumer and trade exhibition where nurseries, garden centres, plant breeders and outdoor-living brands present plants, tools and garden equipment to home gardeners. FLORIGA is Leipzig's edition of this format at the Leipziger Messe fairground.

2

Beet- und Balkonpflanzen

Bedding and balcony plants - seasonal flowering plants raised for window boxes, patios and flower beds. At a late-winter garden fair this category signals the coming spring season and is usually the first thing visitors come to see.

3

Stauden

Herbaceous perennials: plants that die back and regrow each year, sold potted or bare-root for borders and gravel gardens. Growers typically group them by light and soil requirement rather than by colour.

4

Gehölze

Woody plants - trees and shrubs, including ornamental, fruit and hedge varieties, supplied bare-root or in containers. Buyers at Leipzig check hardiness for the central-German climate before ordering.

5

Floristik

Floristry: the craft and trade of arranging cut flowers, branches and plant material for bouquets, seasonal decoration and events. Garden fairs usually host floristry demonstrations and sell florist supplies alongside finished arrangements.

6

Saatgut

Seed: vegetable, herb and flower seed in packets, including heritage and organic lines. German garden-fair stands often sell seed varieties that are hard to find in ordinary garden centres.

7

Pflanzgefäße

Planters and containers - terracotta, glazed ceramic, fibre-clay, zinc and plastic pots, plus balcony boxes, saucers and liners. Weight, frost resistance and drainage holes are the practical buying criteria for balcony use.

8

Hochbeet

Raised bed: a waist-height growing bed for vegetables and herbs, sold as kits or built by landscapers. At consumer garden fairs they are usually shown planted and with accessories such as liners, fleece and watering systems.

9

Gartengeräte

Garden tools and equipment - hand tools, pruners, spades, wheelbarrows, hoses and increasingly battery-powered mowers, trimmers and shredders. Buyers compare battery platforms and spare-part availability, not only price.

10

Gartengestaltung und Landschaftsbau

Garden design and landscaping: planning services and installed work such as paving, pergolas, ponds, irrigation and planting schemes, delivered by regional specialist firms. Local landscapers use the fair to quote for the coming season.

11

Grünpflanzen und Zimmerpflanzen

Foliage and houseplants - ferns, palms, succulents and tropicals sold for indoor use, often displayed in interior-styling settings with matching pots and care products.

12

Grab- und Friedhofsfloristik

Cemetery and grave floristry: seasonal planting, grave covers and arrangements. It is a distinct German garden-retail segment, usually shown in the same halls as cut-flower and floristry supplies.

13

Leipziger Messe

The trade-fair company and fairground in the north of Leipzig. Halls are reached on foot from Leipzig Messe S-Bahn station or via LVB tram line 16 and bus line 84 to the Messegelände stop.
