state garden show
An exhibition on horticulture and landscape architecture held in Germany, organized at regular intervals in different cities within a federal state. It often also serves urban development purposes.
Dieses Jahr besuchen wir die Landesgartenschau in unserer Nachbarstadt.
This year we're visiting the state garden show in our neighboring town.
This long word can be easily broken down: 'Landes-' (refers to a federal state), 'Garten' (garden), and 'Schau' (an exhibition). So it is literally a 'garden exhibition of a federal state.'
Die Landesgartenschau fördert den Tourismus in der Region.
The state garden show promotes tourism in the region.
This is not just any garden exhibition, but a specific German event format. Such shows take place regularly in different cities within a federal state and often serve to improve green spaces and urban infrastructure. In everyday language, the abbreviation 'LaGa' or 'LGS' is often used.
Für die LaGa wurde ein ganzer Stadtpark neu gestaltet.
An entire city park was redesigned for the LaGa.
To talk about visiting a Landesgartenschau, you use the prepositions 'zu' for direction and 'auf' for the location. You go 'zur Landesgartenschau' (to the state garden show) and are then 'auf der Landesgartenschau' (at the state garden show).
Wir fahren morgen zur Landesgartenschau.
We're driving to the state garden show tomorrow.
