International horticultural exhibition
An international horticulture exhibition (abbreviated IGA ) is an international exhibition of horticulture and landscaping and its trade associations. The exhibitions show gardens , landscape architecture , landscaping , plant cultivation and garden tools / furniture .
Germany
In addition to federal authorities and the organizing cities, the Deutsche Bundesgartenschau GmbH (DBG) , founded in 1993, is always involved today ; the Zentralverband Gartenbau e. V. (ZVG) , the Federal Association of Gardening, Landscaping and Sports Field Construction (BGL) and the Association of German Tree Nurseries (BdB) . As with a federal horticultural show, the patronage of an international garden show is assumed by the respective Federal President .
General
The International Horticultural Exhibition (IGA) takes place in Germany every ten years . It also replaces the biennial Federal Garden Show (BUGA) in the respective (odd) year . Interested cities have to apply to host the IGA according to certain regulations. International horticultural exhibitions are applied for by the Federal Republic of Germany at the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) in Paris and must also be approved by the Association Internationale des Producteurs de l'Horticulture (AIPH) . The final decision on implementation is made by the BIE. The Floriade (Netherlands) goes through the same international approval procedures. After the Second World War, IGAs traditionally took place in Germany in the years that ended in 3. The system was broken after 2013 in order to achieve a greater distance from the international garden shows that took place in the Netherlands in the years with two. Therefore, the next IGA in Germany was set for 2017 and the scheme changed to the 7s in the future. After Hamburg had already started preparations for the 2013 exhibition, the unique title of an International Garden Show (IGS) was invented for this event.

Criticism of garden shows in Germany
Garden shows are performance shows of the horticultural industry and its associations that are co-financed with tax revenues. Cities and municipalities expect this to be tourist attractions. The economic efficiency and objectives of the garden shows are being discussed increasingly critically. As early as 1980, in view of the Federal Garden Show in Kassel in 1981 , the German Werkbund published the brochure Destroyed by Care , which showed in pictures and text how the historic Karlsaue in Kassel was damaged and disfigured for the show. The sociologist and economist Lucius Burckhardt called for a rethink even then. After the Second World War, garden shows helped restore the cities to their parks or restore them. In the meantime, however, there are hardly any “open spaces close to the city that can be turned into parks”; instead, “parks that were once usable are too richly orchestrated and therefore transformed into parks that can only be viewed”.
