Top Reasons to Attend
1
Japanese Green-Market Access
GARDEX is a dedicated Japanese marketplace for gardening, outdoor living and spatial design, attracting garden centers, home centers, landscapers, design offices, hotels and other professional buyers.
2
Retail and Landscape Crossover
The show connects products that must work both as retail merchandise and as specified landscape or exterior-design solutions, useful for suppliers serving more than one route to market.
3
Distribution Meetings
International suppliers can meet Japanese importers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers looking for plants, horticultural inputs, garden products, outdoor equipment and landscape materials.
4
Product Presentation Benchmark
Japan's retail presentation, compact-space design and demanding product standards make the floor useful for studying how garden and outdoor products are packaged, demonstrated and merchandised.
5
Co-location Efficiency
GARDEX is co-located with J-AGRI and TOOL JAPAN, so buyers working across horticulture, agricultural supply, landscaping and professional tools can cover adjacent categories during the same Makuhari trip.
What You'll See & Do
🌱
Plants & Horticultural Products
Compare plants, nursery products, fertilizers, horticultural supplies and other green-sector products with Japanese retail, landscape and professional-use requirements in mind.
🌱
Garden & Outdoor Living
Look at garden furniture, outdoor-living products, leisure equipment and exterior solutions as complete commercial propositions, including durability, storage, seasonality and retail presentation.
🔎
Landscaping Materials
Landscape professionals should focus on exterior materials, spatial-design products and solutions relevant to hotels, commercial sites, gardens and public or private outdoor projects.
🌱
Retail Garden Products
Garden centers and home-center buyers can use the show to scout new ranges, seasonal products and merchandising ideas rather than treating it as a purely horticultural production exhibition.
🔎
Co-located J-AGRI & TOOL JAPAN
Use the co-located J-AGRI and TOOL JAPAN halls when your sourcing overlaps agricultural materials, machinery, professional tools, smart farming or outdoor work equipment.
