At the invitation of the Baden-Württemberg branch of the German Association of Landscape Architects, a panel of four experts will discuss key aspects of open space planning for the 2026 Ellwangen State Garden Show.
The focus will be on the permanent facilities remaining after the end of the Garden Show, their integration into urban and regional plans, and their added value for the city, society and the public. Furthermore, the symposium will explore the opportunities and potential of investments in open space planning for future urban development.
From 2.00 pm, participants, interested members of the public and visitors will have the opportunity to take part in a project information session including a guided tour of the State Garden Show site.
