When it comes to awarding major events, FIFA must definitely be seen as a role model. And they recently announced that the 2030 World Cup will take place in Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Morocco, Spain and Portugal. In light of this, another monopolist, namely the Bavarian Gardening Association, the Bavarian Gardening, Landscape and Sports Field Construction Association and the Bavarian State Association in the Association of German Tree Nurseries, would certainly have found something for Tittmoning.
Why not with Penzberg, Günzburg, Nuremberg, Schrobenhausen and Langenzenn? They should organize the state garden shows from 2028 to 2032, but all individually. The jurors recently put off Tittmoning in the Traunstein district with a mere replacement place. But now the town is starting to overtake.
Tittmoning will no longer reach the finish line before Freyung, as the garden show ended there two weeks ago – apparently to the satisfaction of the mayor. It was said that a little less than the planned 12.5 million euros would have been invested in the show and instead a forest car park, a meadow and rock path, a climbing park and the terracing on Geyersberg as well as circular paths with benches would be retained. Tittmoning can hardly avoid Kirchheim near Munich in 2024 and Furth im Wald in 2025. But then!
Because in 2026 a gap will open. Schweinfurt returned this show last year because the investment costs had increased from nine to 23 million euros. And the Free State does not add more than five million from its funding flower pot. According to his own statements, he has supported the entire garden magic with a good 75 million euros since the first show in 1980, and almost 530 hectares of land have been improved in this way. And now just Tittmoning, where you can quickly pull the plans from your recently unsuccessful application out of the drawer.
Tittmoning particularly wants to green up the beautiful town square, which has so far been used primarily as federal highway 20, and get rid of a few cars. The mayor entices the city councilors, who still have to decide everything, to cover 80 percent of the costs through funding. Because money could also come from a few other pots. There’s no need for a garden show for them, but what the heck: open the drawer, out the plans.
