The Show

spoga+gafa covers all aspects of practical, decorative and leisure gardening.  It is divided into the following product sectors: Living (decoration and furniture), Creation & Care (equipment and technology for garden design, plants and plant care) and BBQ (grills & barbecues).  In 2026, new sections are being added: Outdoor Adventure, which includes camping, hiking, fishing and games and sport in the garden, along with Object.Europe, which showcases top-level European outdoor design.

Germany is by far the largest market for garden products in Europe, with annual sales of around €20 billion.  Buyers, though, visit spoga+gafa not just from Germany but from countries around the world.  In recent years, British group exhibitors have met buyers from across Europe as well as leading distributors and retailers from markets such as the USA, Canada, Dubai, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia – along with some of the leading players from the UK.

The show attracts a broad spectrum of buyers, including independent garden centres, DIY and garden centre chains, mail-order and online businesses, super and hypermarket groups, discounters, department stores, specialist furniture retailers and landscapers, along with many international distributors and wholesalers of garden products that supply the retail and contract trade worldwide.

For more information about exhibiting as part of the British exhibitor group at spoga+gafa 2026, please contact David McAllister at Gardenex.

Our 6th year at spoga+gafa and one of the best!
