garden festivals, small town revitalization, green infrastructure
Abstract
Garden shows and festivals are largely associated with the presentation of landscape architecture and gardening skills. The leading events include annual temporary exhibitions such as the British Chelsea Flower Show or the French International Garden Festival in Chaumont-sur-Loire. Annually organised regional and national garden festivals known as Gartenschau pursue quite a different agenda. Their priority is to improve the quality of public space through meticulous planning aimed at delivering specific economic indices, and hence providing each project with funding. This paper discusses a programme of activities leading to the organisation of Gartenschau at both regional and national levels. The author presents research examples, disclosing compositional assumptions and economic effects achieved. The author also discusses social reception of Gartenschau, since at the time of the economic crisis the increase in property prices resulting from higher quality of space raises objections from local communities.
