Let's get this flower party started!
The countdown to the eccentric Hessen State Garden Show has begun! With a ceremonious groundbreaking in the Kurpark of Bad Salzhausen, the preparations for this mammoth event have officially entered the action phase. The show, set to roll from April 22 to October 3, 2027, is a game-changer as it involves eleven neighboring municipalities - talk about unity!
"We're blazing a trail for local collaboration!" exclaimed Hessian Minister of Agriculture, Ingmar Jung (CDU), during the ceremonies at the event. As if that weren't enough good news for the organizers of the State Garden Show in Oberhessen, Minister Jung dropped another tidbit: the state of Hessen will boost its funding to 4.5 million euros, a juicy additional million!
Three parks as the pulsating heart of the State Garden Show
The lucky municipalities in the mix for this green extravaganza are Büdingen, Echzell, Gedern, Glauburg, Hirzenhain, Kefenrod, Limeshain, Nidda, Ortenberg, Ranstadt, and Schotten - all hailing from the Wetterau and Vogelsberg districts. The Kurpark in Bad Salzhausen, Schlosspark Gedern, and the Stadtpark Büdingen will take center stage as the beating heart of the event. You guessed it, all these locations are based in the Wetterau district.
The Kurpark in Bad Salzhausen and Gedern are set to receive some serious love with renovations and upgrades such as the installation of new playgrounds and construction of disability-friendly terrain. In Büdingen, the city center will undergo a total makeover, transforming it into a vibrant, multifunctional city park.
"We're a hidden gem waiting to dazzle 'em!" declared Henrike Strauch (SPD), the head honcho of Glauburg and chairperson of the Oberhessen development association. She emphasized that the State Garden Show should be more than just a flower festival for enthusiasts; it should tackle pressing issues like climate protection and sustainable gardening, too.
The region, notorious for its economic struggles, is pinning its hopes on the State Garden Show to serve as a catalyst for tourism growth, infrastructure enhancement, and economic development. One can almost hear the whispers in Bad Salzhausen, "We're a hidden gem, ready to shine!"
