Garden Pleasures (Gartenfreuden) Perchtoldsdorf

The "Garden Pleasures" trade fair is an annual garden-themed event held at the historic Perchtoldsdorf Castle in the picturesque market town of Perchtoldsdorf. Since its founding in 2012, the fair has established itself as a fixture in the event calendars of garden enthusiasts, plant lovers, and nature lovers. It serves not only as a source of inspiration for private garden owners but also as a professional platform for experts in horticulture, landscape design, and sustainable living. Held annually in May – at the peak of nature’s bloom – the garden fair is organized by Stiotta & Rottensteiner OG, a seasoned company specializing in high-quality garden and lifestyle events.

The event takes place at the historic Perchtoldsdorf Castle, an architectural gem nestled in the Lower Austrian market town of the same name, just outside Vienna. This unique setting combines historical charm with modern infrastructure and is easily accessible from across Austria and neighboring countries thanks to its excellent public transport connections.

The fair captivates visitors with a clearly defined thematic focus. At its heart are rare and exclusive plants, creative garden design ideas, regional arts and crafts, elegant garden accessories, and products centered around sustainability and a close connection to nature. Numerous exhibitors from sectors such as horticulture, floristry, craftsmanship, interior design, fine foods, organic farming, and ecology showcase their offerings and invite personal dialogue. Visitors can explore a curated selection of premium plants, handcrafted decorative items, local delicacies, and practical solutions for their own gardens.

A standout feature of “Garden Pleasures” is its diverse supporting program, which includes daily expert talks, hands-on workshops, guided garden tours, and a thoughtfully designed children’s area. The event appeals to a broad audience – from seasoned professionals and hobby gardeners to families and design enthusiasts. Even four-legged companions are welcome in the outdoor areas. And come rain or shine, the event stays true to its motto: Garden joy knows no bad weather.

The fair is also part of a successful event series that includes a stop at the magnificent Schloss Stainz in Styria. In doing so, it links regions across Austria while promoting a shared passion: celebrating and making the richness of garden culture tangible.

Those seeking fresh inspiration, high-quality products, and meaningful conversations in a unique setting will find all of that and more at Perchtoldsdorf Castle – an event that brings together nature, beauty, and community in perfect harmony. A truly uplifting experience that allows not only gardens, but also hearts, to flourish.
