DIGA Ulm

The DIGA Gartenmesse at Kloster Wiblingen near Ulm is an exhibition centered around the themes of gardens and garden culture. The name "DIGA" is an acronym for "Die Gartenmesse," a title that perfectly encapsulates the comprehensive offerings of the event. The fair takes place every August in the idyllic setting of Kloster Wiblingen, a short distance from the city of Ulm. The event is organized by SüMa Maier Veranstaltungs GmbH, a company known for their excellently curated and well-organized events.

The DIGA Gartenmesse is one of several fairs that take place under the "DIGA Gartenmesse" label at different locations throughout Germany. It covers a broad range of topics, from flowers, plants, and herbs to garden layouts and technology, along with garden furniture, accessories, and decorative items. Terracotta, ceramics, fountains, ponds, and conservatories also feature prominently at the exhibition. In addition to the displays, the fair offers informative lectures on a variety of garden-related topics. The exhibitors mainly hail from industries specializing in garden design, technology, and accessories. The audience predominantly consists of gardening enthusiasts and industry professionals who are seeking inspiration, new products, services, or opportunities to network. One of the fair's highlights are the beautifully crafted themed worlds created by gardeners and landscape designers. These spaces invite visitors to admire, dream, and enjoy, while encouraging them to linger and soak in the unique atmosphere that makes every visit an unforgettable experience. Lastly, it's worth mentioning the location of the fair itself, the Kloster Wiblingen. Situated in the district bearing the same name in the south of Ulm, it is just a few kilometers from the city and easily accessible by public transportation, particularly the buses of Stadtwerke Ulm/Neu-Ulm (SWU). The former Benedictine monastery is famous for its splendid Baroque church and the impressive monastery library. With its extensive green spaces and gardens, the entire monastery complex provides a wonderful backdrop for the garden fair. The exhibitions and presentations occur amidst this historical architecture and serene nature, lending the fair a unique and enchanting flair.

The DIGA takes place annually, and therefore for the twentieth time previsibly in August 2025 in Ulm.
