Event overview
Warsaw Garden Expo 2027 runs 9–11 February 2027 at Ptak Warsaw Expo in Warsaw, Poland, bringing the horticulture, landscape-architecture and garden-technology trade together in Hall F.
The seventh edition combines an exhibition of plants, nurseries, garden machinery, irrigation and outdoor-living products with the Garden Innovations Conference and the Trade Fair Medals.
Entry is free for visitors who register online or at the fair office.
TL;DR
Warsaw Garden Expo 2027 packs the Polish green sector into Hall F: live plant and nursery displays, garden machinery, irrigation systems, smart-garden controls, hard-landscaping materials and outdoor-living ranges. Visitors can compare suppliers side by side, attend the Garden Innovations Conference and see the Trade Fair Medals winners. It is a working show for landscape architects, garden-centre buyers, growers and municipal green-space teams, with free registration and a location ten minutes from Warsaw Chopin Airport.
Exhibiting puts a brand in front of Polish landscape architects, nursery owners, garden-centre buyers, contractors and municipal buyers during the February specification and buying window. The 2026 edition drew 20,281 participants, and the 2025 edition hosted 413 exhibitors across 50,000 sqm. A Hall F stand gives exhibitors a compact, professionally organised platform to launch spring ranges, meet distributors and qualify leads before the season starts.

Edition recap
The sixth edition drew 20,281 participants, a 5.5% increase, with landscape architecture, garden tools, pots, floristry, greenhouses and garden machinery as the leading sectors.
Impact
Warsaw Garden Expo has moved from a regional Polish garden fair to a 20,000-visitor meeting point for the CEE green sector. The 2026 edition grew attendance 5.5% to 20,281 while the 2025 edition reported 413 exhibitors across 50,000 sqm and seven countries, giving buyers a credible alternative to travelling to Essen or the Netherlands for spring ranging.
Audience quality
The audience is trade-weighted: landscape architects and designers, garden-centre and nursery buyers, growers, contractors, municipal green-space teams and outdoor-living retailers. The show is compact enough to work in one day, and its February timing puts buyers in front of suppliers just as spring specifications and retail orders are being placed. Visitor registration is free but required.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on qualifying Polish and CEE distribution rather than raw footfall. A 9–24 sqm shell stand is enough for a focused product launch, while 36 sqm or more suits machinery or full outdoor-living sets. Exhibitors should book meetings before the show, staff the stand with Polish-speaking sales support and follow up within 48 hours; no audited ROI or rebooking rate has been published.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Poland is one of Europe's fastest-growing horticulture markets, with ornamental plant production, nursery stock and garden retail expanding alongside public green-infrastructure spending. Warsaw sits at the centre of that trade, giving exhibitors access to Polish landscapers, garden centres, growers and Central European distributors in one February week, ahead of the spring planting and landscaping season.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Water-wise and blue-green infrastructure
Drought, heavy rain and urban heat are pushing municipalities and designers toward rain gardens, permeable paving, retention systems and drought-tolerant planting.
What it changes: Suppliers of irrigation, drainage, substrates and resilient plants can position products around public green-infrastructure budgets.
Automation in garden maintenance
Robotic mowers, sensor-led irrigation and battery-powered tools are moving from premium gadgets into mainstream garden and landscape contracts.
What it changes: Equipment brands that demonstrate labour savings and app integration can win both professional and retail distribution.
Premium outdoor living and biodiversity
Garden rooms, outdoor kitchens, pools and decorative planting are converging, while buyers increasingly ask for pollinator-friendly and low-maintenance schemes.
What it changes: Outdoor-living and plant suppliers can bundle lifestyle ranges with credible sustainability stories.
Warsaw Garden Expo sits between the winter trade-fair season and the spring garden-retail launch, making it a useful Polish stop alongside Europe's larger plant and garden shows.
Winter trade season
A single late-January to mid-February European trip can cover both shows.
Circuit dates are planning estimates, not organiser-confirmed 2027 calendars.

Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2, Wednesday 10 February 2027
The first morning is busiest at registration and the last day can wind down early; day two gives a full 10:00–17:00 window for meetings and conference sessions.
Register online and book the free visitor pass — An invitation alone does not grant entry; keep the confirmation.
Shortlist exhibitors and request meetings — Use the 12 product sectors to split the hall into a route.
Book rail or flight and a hotel — WAW is closest; Nadarzyn hotels fill for show week.
Check the conference programme and build a day plan — Leave two hours for Hall F aisles and one workshop slot.
Pack badge confirmation, ID and warm layers — February is cold; halls are heated but transfers are outdoors.
