Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler (dpa / lrs) - In the corona-related postponement of the state horticultural show in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler by one year to 2023, those responsible also see new opportunities.
For example, shrubs and trees have more time to grow, there could be even more horticultural quality, said Matthias Schmauder-Werner, the technical director of the State Horticultural Show Society Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, on Thursday.
"The project partners also provide some relief," he added.
The corona pandemic and the resulting increased prices from partners would have forced the small town in the north of Rhineland-Palatinate, for example, to repeal three large tenders.
It would have been too long to repeat.
Overall, Schmauder-Werner spoke of "terrible time pressure".
In addition, there would have been uncertainties for the economically important group trips that had to be planned long in advance due to Corona.
The fifth state horticultural show in Rhineland-Palatinate was to wind its way along the Ahr river for six kilometers from April 20 to October 16, 2022.
According to Schmauder-Werner, the period April to October is also planned for 2023 - the exact dates are still to be clarified.
The almost 2000 season tickets that had already been sold remained valid.
