Abstract: State garden shows in Germany are an option that is mainly used in small and medium-sized towns, they seem to be a relatively ‘handy’ format. They are, however, concerned not only with the development of recreational space but also with built infrastructure, and trigger controversial local discussion about their economic benefits and social costs, with assessments by the actors involved diverging considerably. They are also an indication of a town’s planning culture. This paper presents general findings on the over 150 state garden shows that have been held in Germany and a detailed consideration of the 2014 state garden show in Gießen.
