The Major Dahlia Show (Dahlianfeuer)

Oct 2 is one of our special days. We celebrate something on the second day of every month. Yesterday, we planned to visit the Dahilen Show in the Britzer Garden. The weather was cloudy and cold as usual. We hoped to see the sunshine in the afternoon but nothing. 

The Britzer garden was voted one of Germany's ten most beautiful gardens in 2002. The area is 90-hectare squares. It offers garden art, gastronomy, concerts, events, sports and health facilities, animals and a museum railway _above all, it offers beautifully manicured gardens and pristine nature.


 From mid-April (depending on the weather) tulips bloom at the special show "Tulips in the Britzer Garden." Hundreds of thousands of magnificent tulips in a multitude of colours and shapes remain in full bloom until the end of April/beginning of May. In June and September the Rose Garden is a major attraction with hundreds of bed, shrub and climbing roses edged with neatly clipped box hedges.

Dahlias really come into their own in late summer and autumn. The “Major Dahlia Show“ takes place yearly in the Britzer Garden at the end of August/beginning of September and features over 10,000 dahlias in 200 varieties.
