Discover the opportunities of ecological gardening in Austria!

CoF Professional excursions Spring 2026 in Austria:

From May 15^th till 17^th, 2026, our Austian colleagues of WKÖ in cooperation with Natur im Garten, organized the professional excursions of the ELCA Committee of Firms in Austria. Ecological gardening was the innovative highlight in the different site visits. How can we realize greener projects with a great variety of native plants and what does this mean for the maintenance? How do we realize a healthy soil and use substrates that contain no peat? How can we avoid the use of pesticides? How has ecological gardening become part of the expertise of landscape garden companies in Austria and is it implemented in vocational training for landscape gardeners? All these questions were answered during this very inspiring program!

A warm thank you to our colleagues of WKÖ and Natur im Garten for this great professional excursions and all inspiration you gave us on innovative ecological gardening!
