Where the pulse of the green industry beats 29th International GREENING TO LIFE & FLOWER EXPO POLAND Exhibition

International Exhibition GREENNESS TO LIFE & FLOWER EXPO POLAND

September 1-3, 2022, EXPO XXI Warsaw, 12/14 Prądzyńskiego St.

The greenest horticultural trade fair in our part of Europe, which began in 1993 with the mission to popularize the nursery industry - trees, shrubs, perennials, climbers - and continues to carry it out uninterruptedly, begins in Warsaw on September 1. The organizers - the Polish Nurserymen's Association and the Greenery Promotion Agency - invite all participants in the green industry and sister sectors to the 29th International Exhibition GRREN IS LIFE & FLOWER EXPO POLSKA, to be held September 1-3, at the traditional location, the EXPO XXI Warsaw, under the slogan “Naturally!”. The fair will feature 156 exhibitors from 9 countries (in addition to Poland, these are: Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Germany, Italy and the USA). More than 64% of the exhibitors will show plant material - mainly nursery, ornamental and fruit. Visitors to the exhibition can also expect to see an exhibition of products and services in the following areas: nursery and landscape technology and techniques (substrates, fertilizers, plant protection and care products, tools, machinery, pots, packaging, labels), sales support, garden decoration and equipment (decorative items, ceramics, landscaping elements, furniture), industry publications (books, magazines).

We invite all professionals wishing to visit the exhibition or take part in the interesting program accompanying the fair to register.

Naturally!

The slogan of the upcoming edition of the fair is short, but eloquent. It can be interpreted in various ways, having in mind the nature provided by plants, gardens, green areas, or the natural need to surround oneself with nature, and finally - the obvious need to visit the exhibition, which is a must-see in the calendar of gardening events. - Are we meeting in early September in Warsaw? - Naturally!

Novelties - the driving force of the industry

Only at “Green is Life” in this part of Europe can you see such a rich assortment of plants for gardens and landscaping. Everything - in its full glory, during the growing season. No wonder, then, that the Novelty Plants Competition has become an integral part of the fair, over the years it has gained prestige, further distinguishing it from other industry events and strengthening its marketing message. As early as September 1, during the inauguration of the exhibition, we will find out which plants from the 32 entries will be honored with gold, silver and bronze by an international jury. They are sure to catch the special attention of visitors, as always, especially since the presentation of the medalists is located at the central point of the fair and will be the theme of the event's summary coverage.
