Thank you for an unforgettable IGCA experience
What a congress it was! We look back with great gratitude on the days we spent together at the IGCA Congress in Germany. The inspiring conversations, fresh ideas, moving moments and strong sense of community made this congress truly special.
We are deeply touched by the positive feedback we have received from so many participants. Your responses show that IGCA thrives on exchange, personal encounters and people who are committed to shaping the future of the green industry together.
We would like to thank everyone who joined us, shared ideas, took part in discussions, laughed with us and helped bring the congress to life. Our sincere thanks also go to all our partners and supporters who contributed to its success.
A congress filled with emotion, valuable insights and encounters that will stay with us. That is what community is all about.

Experience Bavaria – and fall in love
If you're going to discover Germany, start where its soul shines brightest: Bavaria.
This region is more than picturesque landscapes and charming traditions. It’s where garden culture is lived with passion, where innovation meets heritage, and where every encounter feels like a warm embrace. Bavaria offers our international guests a window into the heart of Germany – authentic, vibrant, and unforgettable.
From the alpine beauty and historic cities to the world-class garden centres and the joyful spirit of Oktoberfest, Bavaria invites you to experience Germany with all your senses. It’s a place where nature, culture, and connection come together – and where memories are made.
Bavaria isn’t just a destination. It’s the feeling of truly arriving.
