'Design Gardens' addresses two topics: Current trends in product design as well as garden design.

After the top themes of spoga+gafa placed a strong focus on social responsibility in the last years, under the top theme of "Design Gardens" in 2025 the emphasis lies on designing gardens as well as the design of garden and BBQ products. The largest garden and BBQ trade fair in the world will examine all facets of designing outdoor areas from 24 to 26 June 2025. The latest trends of the product worlds of the international exhibitors will be addressed as well as the basic design of gardens, terraces and balconies. Accompanied by various special formats, a comprehensive event programme and networking events, the top theme "Design Gardens" will be made experienceable from different perspectives and in a target group specific manner. 

Open air design 
Outdoor areas are used in different ways today: They serve as a place of retreat and somewhere to relax, for self-provision or for growing decorative plants. They are meeting points for the family and friends, an open air kitchen or a green home office. Hence, the design of today's gardens and garden products is correspondingly versatile. Themes like aesthetics and comfort play a role just as much as efficiency, sustainability and health. Design also reflects cultural influences, trends, aesthetic demands and values. 

The design demands not only characterise individual products, but also outdoor areas in their entirety. More and more people are designing their own green oasis. From the large suburban garden through to small city balconies, open spaces are becoming personal places of retreat and well-being. Natural gardens with natural plant products for biological diversity are particularly popular today. 

Durability - in two respects 
An important aspect of current design solutions for outdoor areas is their durability - in twofold respect. Innovative materials are making garden furniture, outdoor kitchens or grills more and more robust, easier to care for and more climate resilient. But the design of the "green living room" itself is also sustainable. A new simplicity with timeless shapes currently characterises outdoor furniture, BBQs and garden products, enhanced by comfortable accessories, natural materials and warm colours. In this way, design creates an authentic and at the same time cosy atmosphere. 

Practical design 
Beyond the appearance, design also extends the practical application in the garden. The keywords here today are variety of use and sustainability. Modular garden furniture offers more flexibility in the equipment, multifunctional BBQs and outdoor kitchens expand the options for BBQs and outdoor cooking.  Optimised tools make the garden work more efficient and clever plant systems provide sustainable vegetation. For instance, size-adjustable garden tools improve the ergonomics and can be optimally adjusted to suit the user. 

Place-to-be of the global garden industry 
Versatility and personalisation, efficiency and environmental protection or living comfort and timelessness are forward-looking aspects of outdoor design. The coming spoga+gafa will show which other themes and trends will shape the green living environments of tomorrow. As the place-to-be of the global garden industry, it will once again offer the most exciting inspiration for future garden design from 24 to 26 June 2025. The top theme "Design Gardens" will run through the presentations of the international exhibitors and the diversified event programme like a common thread - as an inviting incentive to joint garden design.
