From October 1-2, 2025, the Elmia Garden event will take place in Jönköping, Sweden. This biennial event is a major gathering for horticultural enthusiasts, featuring an extensive exhibition area of 10,000 square meters. Over 150 exhibitors from around the world will showcase their latest products and innovations, while attracting more than 10,000 visitors.
One of the key trends highlighted at this year's event is the concept of living hedges. These not only serve as attractive and functional barriers but also promote biodiversity and provide shelter for wildlife. According to Helena Kaasik from Elmia AB, "Living hedges are an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their garden's ecosystem."
Living hedges can be made from a variety of plants, including evergreen shrubs like aronia and juniper, which provide year-round screening. For those who want immediate results, fast-growing options such as ligustrum and hawthorn are ideal. Additionally, flowering varieties like lavender and roses not only add color but also attract pollinators. In winter, evergreen species like boxwood and yew ensure continuous screening.
The event organizers emphasize the environmental benefits of living hedges. They absorb carbon dioxide and reduce noise pollution. Dense hedges can also act as windbreaks and microclimate modifiers, benefiting plants in the garden.
Visitors to Elmia Garden can explore a wide range of exhibitors and products related to gardening trends. The event provides a platform for both professionals and enthusiasts to learn about the latest developments in horticulture.
