The 2025 Black Forest State Garden Show, called "Tal X," is a joint project of the cities of Freudenstadt and Baiersbronn. From May 23 to October 12, 2025, the idyllic Forbach Valley will be transformed into a blooming paradise combining nature experiences, cultural events, and a wide range of recreational activities.
A unique concept: 8 kilometers of garden show
The Tal X garden show is characterized by an exceptional concept: Stretching eight kilometers, it connects Freudenstadt with its expansive market square and the culinary town of Baiersbronn. Between them lies an idyllic Black Forest valley, which awakens from its "Sleeping Beauty" slumber for 143 days, offering visitors a diverse range of experiences.
The garden show grounds extend from the market square in Freudenstadt, through the Christophstal and Friedrichstal valleys, to Baiersbronn . Visitors can explore this route at their own pace – on foot, by bicycle, or using public transport. A well-designed mobility concept ensures that all areas of the garden show are easily accessible.
Diverse event program
With over 1300 events, the Tal X Garden Show offers a diverse program for all ages. Visitors can look forward to concerts with regional artists, DJ sessions, cultural events, cooking events, and festivals. The diverse cultural program leaves nothing to be desired and ensures entertainment throughout the entire show.
The garden show is especially attractive for families: children up to and including 16 years of age are admitted free. Numerous activities are aimed at all age groups, making the garden show an adventure for all ages.
Active relaxation in the Black Forest idyll
The Tal X Garden Show is an "active garden show" and offers numerous opportunities for outdoor sporting activities. Visitors can participate in scenic e-bike tours, take guided hikes and leisurely walks, or try Nordic walking. Regular yoga and qigong classes complement the offerings and invite you to relax in nature.
The concept thus combines the classic elements of a garden show with the unique scenic charm of the Black Forest. Flowerbeds and gardens are harmoniously integrated into the natural surroundings, creating charming contrasts to the Black Forest idyll.
Garden show with historical reference
A special highlight of the garden show is the "Virtual Journey Through Time in Valley X," where visitors can experience historical sites up close. The Forbach Valley has a rich cultural history, which comes to life during the garden show. The combination of nature, gardens, and cultural history creates a unique experience for visitors.
Commitment and support
The Tal X Garden Show is supported by numerous supporters. Over 1100 volunteers have been recruited for the project so far. Prominent ambassadors such as Prof. Klaus Fischer are also supporting the show. The 74-year-old entrepreneur, known for his fastening systems, emphasizes: "The 2025 Garden Show is a place for encounters. It brings people together and is thus a magnet for our region and, at the same time, a benefit to our society."
Practical information for visitors
The Tal X Garden Show is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 18:00 p.m. Visitors can choose between one-day tickets, two-day tickets, and season tickets. The latter are already available and are particularly suitable for visitors from the region who wish to visit the garden show multiple times.
