Germany is Europe’s largest market for garden products. Worth over €10 billion, it accounts for almost 30% of all the garden products sold in the EU. With over 20 million gardens, Germany, along with France, is a leading market for exports of garden products from the UK. Spoga+gafa is the largest international trade show for the garden and leisure sector. Spoga features leisure products: furniture, barbecues and outdoor activities. Gafa focuses on all functional aspects of gardening: tools, equipment, ponds, watering, containers and plant care. Gafa was only biennial for several years but both gafa and spoga are now taking place annually again. In 2010 spoga+gafa attracted 2,056 exhibitors from 56 countries and 40,800 trade visitors from 106 countries. Visitors include buyers from garden centres, DIY stores, agricultural co-ops/country stores, supermarkets, department stores, mail-order and internet sales companies, and specialists such as garden furniture stores and garden machinery dealers. Many distributors and wholesalers also visit the event and some exhibit there. Spoga+gafa is truly international. Apart from a huge German audience, the show is the main event for leading buyers from across central Europe, Benelux and Scandinavia. Recently, increasing numbers from France, the Mediterranean countries, Eastern Europe and Russia have visited the show. Key UK retailers also attend.
