The 2025 German international garden trade show IPM Essen, has taken place welcoming visitors from around 50 countries. GTN Xtra's Anisa Gress was there to bring you all the action.
A highlight of the horticultural calendar, it covers eight halls with plenty of retail ideas and too many new plants to mention hinting at a positive year ahead.

Combining a love of dinosaurs with plants, Mediflora Lehrhuber has created a range of 14cm houseplants sold with a child-friendly cover.
