Federal Garden Show
The Federal Garden Show is the largest exhibition of its kind in Germany, which deals with the topics horticulture, landscape architecture and floristry. The garden show takes place at intervals of two years and is held in each case in another German city, which is named a few years earlier for the purpose of sufficient preparation time. Today's Federal Horticultural Show stands in a long tradition of gardeners, florists and farmers to present their respective products to a larger public, especially in recent decades, new breeding successes and unknown plant and flower species should attract the attention of visitors to the fair. In this way, the Federal Garden Show and its historical predecessors became one of the most important opportunities for private individuals to get acquainted with the diversity of modern botany, since professional horticulture was already 100 years ago carried out primarily by private companies that did not provide a deeper insight into their diversity. The Federal Horticultural Show took place in Hamburg for the first time in 1951. The next dates of this internationally acclaimed event will be there in 2013, 2015 in the Havelland region and 2017 in Berlin. At the same time, the gardeners and florists of the individual federal states have the opportunity at regular intervals to present themselves at a regional garden show in their respective region.
The term fertilization describes a measure in agriculture and floristry that describes the targeted supply of the respective plants with nutrients. Basically, all crops draw their vital nutrients from the ground and rainwater, but there are regional differences here, which result in an undersupply of the corresponding plant with various nutrients. Through the use of fertilizers, certain elements are added to the soil, so that an optimal breeding ground can be created for the respective plants. Fertilization is also established in the private sector and is indispensable for exotic flower growing. Many flowers that are not native to Germany by nature do not find the optimal nutrient mixture in the earth in this country to be able to develop. For this purpose, the specialist trade offers special potting soils and fertilizers that respond to the individual nutritional needs of individual plant species such as roses or orchids. Universal fertilizer is also marketed by specialist dealers, which is a good choice especially for native plants and supplies them with essential trace elements. In the online offer of floristik21.de you can also find a large selection of potting soils and special fertilizers, with the help of which a tailor-made fertilization is possible. 
Solid fertilizer or compound fertilizer is a special form of fertilizer that does not take into account the specific needs of specific plant species and instead provides a full and complete supply of indoor or garden plants. The basis of the whole fertilizer is a combination of the essential elements of phosphate, nitrogen and potassium, which are needed by numerous native plants for healthy growth. These trace elements are no longer present in all nutrient soil or potting soil in sufficient quantities today, so that an additional administration of these nutrients is needed. Exactly this task is taken over by complete fertilizer, whereby these can be supplied to the soil both in liquid form as in the form of fertilizer sticks. In order to avoid damage to a plant as a result of over-fertilization, each garden friend should be informed in advance, what nutrient content of the used earths and granules have, so as to find out whether the use of a complete fertilizer makes sense. If this is not the case and the soil shows only the lack of a specific nutrient, a special fertilizer is preferable to the whole fertilizer. This is offered by the specialist trade, for example, as a special nutrient mixture for orchids, rhododendrons, roses and many other plants and thus ensures a supplement of nutrients in a form that is known to be meaningful in the respective plant species. 
Chamotte is a common name in everyday usage for different types of earthenware, which are characterized by their fire resistance. In technical circles, only an industrially produced stone mixture with an increased proportion of aluminum oxide may be referred to by the term chamotte, according to Baustofflehre, in horticulture and floristry, this strict separation, however, is not made. Chamotte has been known to mankind for a few centuries and was mainly used in the porcelain factory to designate stoneware, which did not show any significant changes in its structure even under the influence of heat. By industrial sintering, however, the material can now be processed, for example, by this factory process, the heat resistance of fireclay can be increased. In everyday life, chamotte has numerous applications, particularly popular is the refractory state in the lining of fireplaces and grills. In horticulture, too, chamotte is used to create decorative landscapes. In doing so, it becomes more familiar with the sturdy and optically natural character of this earthenware than with its fire resistance. In the vicinity of crematoria, fireclay bricks accompany the burning of the corpse in the combustion chamber, whereby an identification number of the deceased is applied to the stone in order to prevent a mix-up of the ashes. Finally, chamotte is used in rental apartments for heat storage and thus makes an energetic contribution. 
The term floral motifs summarizes all artificial flowers, which often have only the shape of a flower and are used as decorative elements on floral arrangements, as table decoration and many other occasions. Floral motifs are usually made in bright colors, so as to ensure a stunning effect.

The floristry is a field that deals with flowers and other plants and refers both to the appropriate cultivation and care as well as the artistic composition of plants of all kinds. Essential basics of floristry are taught in this country in a three-year vocational training, which includes both the creative and technical aspects and thus represents a more creative challenge than training in other, classical craft professions. Beyond this vocational training, scientists are also dealing with floristry as a branch of biology in order to find out more about flowers and their properties. While the native flora has already been researched extensively, modern floristry continues to present great challenges to all interested researchers and florists, who are interested in exotic specimens, for example, and would like to cultivate them in our latitudes.

Often thousands of flowers change at a flower auction. The flower auction is traditionally carried out as a reverse auction, which is the beginning of a long-term auction.

The motto Form follows Function is one of the foundations of modern design and is used not only in product design and architecture, but also in the floristic environment. Basically, the concept says that first of all attention is paid to the function, ie the practical character of an object, and that the basic principles of design are based on this. The English sentence is not to be misunderstood in such a way that the form and the design of an object has to subordinate itself entirely to the function, rather, the design aspect should almost naturally arise from the function of an object. Especially in floristry, this principle is easier to follow than in other disciplines of the arts and crafts, as in the creation of clay, ceramics or entire buildings, people actively intervene in the creation process. Although in a flower or plant, an intervention in the form of targeted breeding takes place, the adult flower, blossom or plant in its present form, however, aesthetically not change much. In its basic concept, Form follows Function is based on nature anyway, since the shape of flowers, trees and other creatures has evolved over millions of years according to the principles that enable the respective plant or living organism to optimally adapt to its environment and thus alone function-oriented emerged. The aesthetic evaluation of flowers and flowers is only then done by humans. 
The term frost-proof refers to a property of plants to continue to thrive even in outdoor temperatures in the minus range and even produce flowers. The term has been established in modern horticulture for decades, but originally comes from the technical and scientific field and is related to components and devices that are used outdoors and are to provide their services even in frost. Whether a plant is frost-proofed or not depends almost entirely on the origin of the respective plant, whereby native plants in Central Europe are accustomed to ice and frost and react in their own ways to the annual climate change. Numerous trees and shrubs drive down their metabolism significantly and thus do not form new leaves or flowers for months, other plants at least maintain their foliage and manage to maintain all the basic functions of the vegetation even under the greatest frost. Among the best known indigenous plants, which are frost-proof and can be used throughout the year in the garden, include various conifers, Erika or the silver leaf. The plants mentioned play an essential role in the Trauerfloristik due to their frost-proof property and allow the aesthetic design of a tomb even over the winter months away. Basically, the term frost-proof is very general, since each plant has its own temperature, from which it can no longer maintain its vital functions in the usual way. Therefore, even at very low minus temperatures, even plants that are usually considered frost-free can freeze to death. 
The term gardener in the German language refers to both a training occupation as well as the private, non-commercial activity to cultivate and cultivate a private garden. Horticulture is closely linked to the development of the agricultural sector in Germany; just a few centuries ago, most inhabitants of rural regions were gardeners, managing their livelihood as well as the supply of food through their capacity as smallholders. Since the commercial importance of one's own gardening in the modern living environment has faded into the background and supermarkets no longer need to cultivate their own food, today the gardener is understood more in the floristic or botanical sense of maintaining a private or public garden and so on contributes to an aesthetic enrichment of its environment. All activities that play a role in this can be learned as part of a three-year training course in Germany and then practiced as a manual apprenticeship. In today's working environment, gardeners are used in garden centers or small gardening businesses, in cemetery nurseries and nurseries. Also in the cultivation of crops of all kinds gardeners are needed in addition to traditional farmers, for example in the cultivation of fruit trees or perennials. Anyone who, as a trainee, would rather incorporate aesthetic and creative preferences into his professional life, can also aim for a more floristic focus in his work. 
The term gardening master is a German occupation, which goes beyond the classical teaching profession of the gardener and here represents the highest level of education of the profession. In order to be able to work as a master gardener, the three-year vocational training as a gardener as well as a multi-year employment in the appropriate working environment is necessary in order to be able to fall back on professional experience in this industry. It is irrelevant in which area the trained person is employed and whether this person has more of a focus in his professional life, for example in a nursery or in the cultivation of perennials or fruit plants. In contrast to a simple gardener, the master gardener acquires additional knowledge from specialist areas that are not directly related to areas such as gardening and landscaping. In today's professional life, this primarily includes business management knowledge that enables a master gardener to run his own business independently, such as a tree nursery, a cemetery nursery or a specialist market for gardening and plant products. Even if this form of self-employment is not sought individually, the training as a gardener provides for better salary prospects, if the employment is sought in a larger horticultural company. In most cases, training as a master gardener is carried out on an extra-occupational basis in order to permanently combine theoretical and practical knowledge. 
The Golden Ratio, occasionally Divine Division, describes a mathematical relationship that has been used in art for centuries and is still used today in all artistic disciplines. Specifically, the golden section names a natural relationship, as any route can be divided into two sections and is perceived by most people as aesthetically pleasing. The ratio is an irrational number and thus has infinitely many decimal places, abbreviated to share a distance in the ratio of 61.8% to 38.2%. This division is already to discover in elementary areas of nature, for example in the proportioning of the human face or in the construction of trees and other plants. Architecture, too, has adopted this principle many times before and applies the golden section in the form of house fronts with doors and windows, pillar constructions and other architectural elements. In fine art, the division of areas of a painting is very often based on the golden section, which can at least be traced back to Leonardo da Vinci in the artistic environment. Since the design of flower arrangements and wreaths can also be considered a three-dimensional composition, the golden section is also used in this creative field.
