Garden and Landscaping opens with a full house

With strong attendance from key international exhibitors from around the globe, new partnerships and support from local government departments has undoubtedly established Garden+Landscaping Middle East as the industry's most anticipated event in the region.

The exhibition is the only dedicated international event in the region for agriculture and irrigation specialists, landscaping architects and outdoor designers. New product innovation and best-in-market practice are under a particularly bright spotlight at this year's show.

Gardens have always been a feast for the senses and Gavin Morlini, Show Manager, Messe Frankfurt says "This year it has been especially evident that exhibitors are responding positively to ongoing market and environmental challenges. Companies are specialising and diversifying their products in order to encompass more natural solutions, it is clear there's a long-term market view and a strategy for growth that encompasses innovation, a 'can-do' attitude and an intelligent approach to environment concerns", added Morlini.

Dubai Municipality both recognises and supports the importance of the show. Their major projects for Dubai's public areas include three major park areas to be completed by end of 2007. Incorporating the latest methods and designs in architectural landscaping, which include ecological solutions to conserve the impact on the environment.

The show is also internationally supported by GardenEx UK, the Garden & Leisure Federation which helps create export trade opportunities, UKTI (UK Trade and Investment) and the Ministry of Agriculture of Indonesia.

Garden+Landscaping Middle East is expected to attract a record number of exhibition visitors from across the region and they will not be disappointed.

With an exhibitor growth rate of over 80 percent, including the phenomenal increase in country pavilions from UK, Germany, China, Italy, Australia, Indonesia and Korea, Garden+Landscaping 2007 is the most successful to date, says Messe Frankfurt, the organizer.
