The design and care of gardens are more diversified than ever today. Innovative, multifunctional garden tools, environmentally-friendly care methods, CO2-neutral and recycled products as well as the growing popularity of subsistence gardens are uniting efficiency and sustainability when it comes down to garden work. From 16 to 18 June 2024, spoga+gafa – the largest garden and BBQ trade fair in the world will present precisely these trends in the theme world “garden creation & care”.
spoga+gafa – Garden Creation & Care
International exhibitors will give insights into their latest developments and products from the garden care section – from plants and their cultivation, optimal care, and the appropriate tools and machines. Here is a look at some of the current garden care trends.
All in One: Multifunctional Garden Tools
Today, the garden is a space that fulfills multiple purposes, and as such the tools needed for its care are becoming increasingly versatile. New electrical appliances offer numerous attachments and can be used as a brush, grout cleaner, lawnmower, and edge trimmer. There are also quick-change systems for new mist blowers for vertical and horizontal wetting of plants. The power of alliance initiatives also contributes to today’s versatility – more and more companies are joining initiatives that enable the operation of the diverse tools of different manufacturers and the use of the same battery. For their storage, new tool sheds are individually designable and extendable.
Gentle Care: Garden Work for More Variety
To protect the flora and fauna more and more regional, natural protection, and care products are used when gardening. For example, modern fertilizers are made from clover. Using one’s compost as a fertilizer also promotes environmentally-friendly plant care. Large and small models of practical composters are available for this purpose. Garden creation and care are done without chemicals. Endangered plant species, which belong to the line-ups of many garden centers today, contribute towards maintaining biodiversity.
Own Harvest: Trend towards Self-Sufficiency
Growing one’s herbs, fruit and vegetables became increasingly popular even before food prices went up. Even if only limited space is available, their cultivation is being made easier with small greenhouses, plant towers, and pyramids. Stackable trays enable space-saving storage. Furthermore, easy-to-operate and compact tools are offered, especially for urban gardening. And, in case it gets too hot in small outdoor areas, plant pots protect the greenery up to temperatures of 50 degrees Celsius. There are water butts with integrated plant holders that offer additional cultivation areas.

Greener Industry: CO2 Neutral and Recycled Products
Overall, the green industry is becoming “greener”. Many suppliers use wind power and green electricity for the production of their garden products in the meantime. The remaining emissions are compensated for by promoting reforestation or climate protection projects. Many new garden products are 100 percent recyclable or CO2-neutral. Renewable raw materials such as wood from sustainably managed forests are increasingly being used as the materials for greenhouses or plant growing aids. Furthermore, plant pots are often made of other natural materials like seaweed, reused wickerwork, or recycled plastic.
