Show garden days in Lower Austria: Discover the summer lust in the garden!

Niederösterreich, Österreich - The show garden days in Lower Austria, which take place on June 14 and 15, 2025 under the motto "Summerlust", promise a festival of ecological diversity. This year, 98 “Nature in the Garden” show gardens will open their gates to bring visitors closer to the connection between aesthetics and ecological responsibility for gardening. Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner emphasizes the importance of climate, environmental and species protection, which is promoted by such events.

Visitors can look forward to a diverse program that includes specialist tours, personal garden stories and practical tips for ecological garden design. The "Nature in the Garden" initiative itself has been actively committed to the ecologization of gardens since 1999 and promotes the use of domestic plants as well as the biological diversity, according to the information from blooming Austria .

interactive experience for garden lovers

The conditions of participation are clear: no chemical-synthetic pesticides, fertilizers or peat are allowed in the show gardens. A collection pass is provided for visitors, which enables five different show gardens to be visited. Those who do this will receive a small gift and take part in the raffle for a garden summer weekend for two people.

In addition, there is the possibility to give online feedback on the show gardens visited. Prices are raffled under the ratings, including romantic weekends and family trips. My district also reports that fully filled collective passes are rewarded with free entry tickets or a garden book.

Lower Austria's role in the European context

Lower Austria is considered the number one ecological garden land, a position that is consolidated by the “nature in the garden” initiative. Over 15,500 gardens in Lower Austria are already cultivated according to the strict criteria of this initiative. More than 600,000 inquiries reach the “Nature in the Garden” team every year, which underlines the great interest in ecological garden design.

The SchauGarten days not only promote the acquisition of consciousness for environmentally friendly gardening, but also the garden tourism, as Mikl-Leitner emphasizes. The event has attracted numerous visitors over the years, with over 3 million garden fans attending the 122 ecologically maintained show gardens in the region.
