2004 Italy/Laimburg

The 2nd European Professional Competition took place from 01.09. to 05.09.2004 at the Technical College for Fruit, Wine and Horticulture Laimburg (www.fachschule-laimburg.it).

During two days of competitions, the best young gardeners from 14 European member countries (Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, France, Italy, Croatia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland) demonstrated their knowledge in all areas of horticulture.

The subject-related tasks were carried out at the Laimburg Technical College for Fruit, Wine and Horticulture (www.fachschule-laimburg.it).

All creative competition stations were spread over the city of Bolzano, showcasing the high level of training of the young gardeners to the general public. At the same time, participants had the chance to get to know the capital of South Tyrol while participating in the competition. An extensive supporting programme which was accompanied and supported by the South Tyrolean Gardeners' Association (www.suedtiroler-gaertner.it) and the South Tyrolean young gardeners rounded off the competition.
