The plant nursery, together with Messe Essen, is once again inviting visitors to take part in the “Speed Learning Tour” this year. This successful concept is aimed at trainees and employees visiting the IPM. It offers the opportunity to gain horticultural expertise in compact learning units directly at the exhibition stands of selected exhibitors. Each station conveys a clearly defined practical topic in just 100 seconds and confirms the visit with a stamp on the route card.

The completed route card qualifies participants for the grand prize draw. In addition to several attractive non-cash and cash prizes, the main prize is €500 in prize money. The route cards are available at all entrances to the IPM and can be handed in at the young gardeners' stand in Hall 2C, Stand 33. The initiative is supported by IPM ESSEN and ZVG President Eva Kähler-Theuerkauf.
