GARTENSCHAU CITIES ALLIANCE

North Rhine-Westphalia

In 1984, the first Landesgartenschau (State Horticultural Show) in North Rhine-Westphalia took place in Hamm. Since then, legions of people have visited the host cities of the Landesgartenschau in North Rhine-Westphalia to marvel at innovative parks with fascinating flora and theme gardens.

In order to allow for a continued existence as exciting and innovative parks beyond the six months duration of a Landesgartenschau, we, North Rhine-Westphalia's host cities, have founded the "grüNRW" (greeNRW) initiative. This alliance assembles the forces and expertise necessary to keep our parks creative and future oriented.

Each Landesgartenschau park is different. From theme gardens providing you with inspirations for your garden at home to exciting water play areas and other special playgrounds, NRW offers a variety of parks to relax, explore and spend a wonderful time with your whole family.

Our website provides you with all important information about NRW's most beautiful places - its Landesgartenschau parks.

We bid you a warm welcome to our parks.
