Lower Saxony's Great Garden Show 2026 with the motto "Diversity Blooms Here!" – 173 days of programming in Bad Nenndorf's spa park with a forest temple, concerts, and 1,500 individual events
With the 2026 Bad Nenndorf State Garden Show, the state of Lower Saxony is once again hosting one of its regularly recurring major garden exhibitions. Bad Nenndorf, the spa town in the Schaumburg region at the foot of the Deister hills, has extensively redesigned its spa park and the surrounding urban area for the show. The motto "Diversity Blooms Here!" refers not only to botanical diversity but also to the social, cultural, and programmatic diversity that is intended to characterize the event.
From April 29th to October 18th, 2026, the season spans 173 days. Over 1,500 individual events are included in the regular day ticket: lectures, workshops, guided tours, concerts, art activities, sports offerings, and family programs. This makes the State Garden Show far more than just a botanical exhibition; it is a tiered program that covers the entire spectrum of cultural life.
An architectural sensation of the Bad Nenndorf State Garden Show is the Forest Temple, a treetop walkway that takes visitors to airy heights and offers new perspectives on the spa park. The path complements the ground-level garden design with a vertical dimension and is one of those attractions that will remain as a lasting legacy after the season ends.
In addition to the daily program, the State Garden Show offers its own concert program with prominent artists. These concerts require a separate ticket. The program includes Alphaville (June 5th), Dick Brave (June 12th), Vanessa Mai (June 13th), Mia Julia & Ikke Hüftgold (July 17th), Ray Dalton (July 18th), Matthias Reim (July 24th), Thomas Anders (July 25th), Amy Macdonald (August 22nd), The Dead South (August 28th), and Culcha Candela (August 29th). The program covers pop, Schlager, country, and hip-hop, appealing to a broad audience.
The 2026 Bad Nenndorf State Garden Show is one of the few major garden shows that welcome dogs on the grounds. The show consciously sets a sign for family-friendliness and for the reality of life for many visitors.
The 2026 edition is the only State Garden Show in Lower Saxony this year and thus a major event of statewide importance. Preparations have been underway for several years and have sustainably changed the appearance of the Bad Nenndorf spa park.
With the Forest Temple as an architectural attraction and the dense program of events, workshops, and concerts, the State Garden Show appeals to a broad audience: garden enthusiasts, families, music lovers, sports and education enthusiasts.
The entire 2026 program can be viewed on the website www.landesgartenschau-badnenndorf.de. Tickets for the concerts must be booked separately.
