Held at Wartenberg and Killesberg parks, the goal was to be visually and functionally integrated with two prominent features of Stuttgart's landscape, the Wartberg and the Leibfriedscher Garten [de].

As early as 1977 was the preparation of temporary and permanent installations, the Technical Department of the City of Stuttgart, headed by Mayor Hans-Dieter Künne [de], a postdoctoral civil responsibility.

Two main issues dominated the garden show at Wartberg, the preservation of an intact environment and the commitment to the concerns of people with disabilities.

The various countries' typical plants were presented, such as apple ( Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands ), olive (Iran, Sardinia and others), palm (Egypt, Angola, Tunisia, India), cherry ( China ) or grape (Austria, Hungary, Turkey and South Africa).
