Kevätpuutarha Helsinki

Kevätpuutarha, a key part of KEVÄT MESSUT, is a trade fair for garden enthusiasts. Held annually at Messukeskus Helsinki, the country’s largest exhibition and convention center, the event marks the arrival of spring and provides visitors with a comprehensive platform for inspiration, information, and access to high-quality gardening products. The name "Kevätpuutarha" translates to "Spring Garden" in Finnish, reflecting the fair’s central theme: welcoming the new gardening season with fresh ideas, sustainable solutions, and creative design concepts.

Each year, the fair attracts both amateur gardeners and industry professionals interested in modern garden design, innovative products, and ecological concepts. Whether for small balconies, expansive gardens, or allotments, Kevätpuutarha offers a wealth of inspiration. Visitors can explore a wide range of products, including gardening tools, plants, furniture, decorations, lighting elements, and grills. Experts and industry specialists are on hand to provide personalized advice and showcase the latest trends in the gardening world.

A particular highlight of the fair is the "Ideapihat" area, where six themed gardens are designed under the direction of renowned landscape architect Minna Harju. Here, visitors can discover innovative garden concepts, from natural and ecological designs to modern styles incorporating concrete, wood, or natural stone. Another key feature is the "Hyötypuutarha" advice center, a new addition offering valuable insights into vegetable gardening, sustainable garden maintenance, and composting. Experts from Viherringi, Viherlandia, Kekkilä, and Puutarhaetsivät provide practical guidance for a successful gardening season.

Kevätpuutarha places strong emphasis on Finnish garden culture and sustainable practices tailored to the Nordic climate. In addition to informative lectures and product presentations, the fair offers a diverse entertainment program. Visitors can find inspiration in the "Viherviidakko" area, unwind at the champagne bar, or try their luck at the "Kukkakasino." Exclusive special offers on ornamental and edible plants are also available throughout the event.

For city dwellers with limited outdoor space, the six model balconies serve as a major attraction. These showcases demonstrate how even small areas can be transformed into lush green retreats while providing valuable tips on balcony gardening. With these practical examples, the fair is not only a valuable resource for garden owners but also a source of inspiration for urban hobby gardeners.

The exhibitors at Kevätpuutarha represent various sectors, including horticulture, landscape architecture, plant protection, furniture and decoration design, as well as environmental and sustainability technologies. The fair’s main audience consists of private individuals with an interest in gardening and balcony care, as well as professionals such as gardeners, landscape architects, and retailers. Thanks to its dynamic mix of exhibitions, expert consultations, and interactive experience areas, Kevätpuutarha is considered a key meeting point for Finland’s gardening community.

Messukeskus Helsinki is conveniently located in the Finnish capital and easily accessible by both public transport and car. With its combination of expert knowledge, innovative products, and inspiring garden designs, Kevätpuutarha is a must-visit event for gardening enthusiasts across Finland.
