With the theme "Symphony in Green", the Ansfelden Upper Austrian Garden Festival invites visitors to relax and enjoy themselves - 171 days long. Anton Bruckner's birthplace is blossoming in 2011. The Garden Festival taking place at Ansfelden / Ritzlhof connects industry with agriculture, urban agglomeration with rural expanse, the cultural landscape with urban culture. The schools for green professions in Ritzlhof actively foster a gardening culture – the Garden Festival is truly at home here.

And for the first time, music and sound are an integral part of a Garden Festival. May this regional Garden Festival inspire you to flourish and leave you with a wealth of ideas and lasting impressions.

Symphony in Green

The theme of the Ansfelden Garden Festival refers to the composer Anton Bruckner. Of all his work, his symphonies are especially well known. It is at the same time the location of the Ritzlhof School ("Schools for green professions"). Floral carpets, gardening ideas and children's games are complemented with music and sound at this Garden Festival. But the Garden Festival itself is a symphony in 4 movements:

1. Movement: Spring – allegro

2. Movement: Early summer – scherzo

Roses & lavender • Music outdoors • Gardens to help plant • End of school • Halftime party

3. Movement: Summer holidays – adagio

4. Movement: Autumn – finale

Ripe fruit • Harvest • Local fruit juice • School term begins • Dahlias & asters • Grasses in the evening light • Farewell party
