Gartenfestival Herrenhausen Hanover

The Herrenhausen Garden Festival (Gartenfestival Herrenhausen) is much more than a traditional garden fair: it offers a sensory experience celebrating nature, aesthetics, and the joy of life. Each year at Whitsun, the picturesque Georgengarten surrounding the historic Leibniz Temple in the Herrenhausen Gardens in Hanover transforms into a vibrant open-air stage for garden culture, artisanal crafts, and culinary delights. Organized by Evergreen GmbH & Co. KG – an experienced specialist in premium garden and lifestyle fairs – the festival brings together over 140 carefully selected exhibitors, curated with a keen sense of quality and style.

The festival captivates visitors with its distinctive atmosphere, set in one of Europe’s most important historic landscape parks. At its heart are rare and unusual plants, imaginative garden concepts, and lovingly designed show gardens. The offerings are rounded out by exclusive outdoor furniture, stylish home and garden accessories, as well as handcrafted art and jewelry – making this event a special meeting place for garden and design enthusiasts alike.

Gourmets are also in for a treat: the festival invites guests on a culinary journey through international delicacies, complemented by a family-friendly program featuring live music, walking acts, and a play area for children. This blend makes the Garden Festival a popular destination for all generations.

The Herrenhausen Garden Festival attracts exhibitors and visitors from across Germany and neighboring countries. In addition to gardeners, artisans, and designers, architects, specialty retailers, gourmet vendors, and professionals from the green sector use the event as a platform for networking and inspiration.

Whether you’re searching for rare plants, exclusive designs, or simply a relaxing day in a historic setting, the Herrenhausen Garden Festival offers all this in a uniquely charming way. Centrally located in Hanover, the Herrenhausen Gardens are easily accessible by public transport. For those who appreciate the extraordinary, this Whitsun event offers a place of inspiration and tranquility in the heart of nature.
