IPM 2011 - Photos

again this year (see previous reports ) I was back on the IPM in Essen, which until 28.1. is open - but only for trade visitors.

plants, technology, floriculture and sales promotion are the four main priorities at the IPM in the food. From trees to cut flowers to potted plants and even seeds, technical equipment and interior is all there. Of this I am interested in only the plants and floristry - and maybe even promotion. But most of all the conversations with some exhibitors (Rosen!) and the friend you meet there - and of course the many brochures or Catalogs, which must now work through. Of course we have not achieved all 1500 exhibitors (47 countries) ... * Grin *


here just a few photos:

There are in England, Ireland and Scotland veritable" Snowdrop safaris take place "in where visitors are rare at shows or large look with this flower-strewn areas or even in private gardens. The British press (not just the gardening magazines, including local newspapers) is then filled with references to the many under the "open door" for the snowdrop flower open private gardens and the "Snow Drop-Days" in public gardens and parks. For the highly exclusive "Snowdrop Gala" and the "Snow Drop dinner" or "Snow Drop-lunch" but you need a special invitation to be here can.
