What is the future of urban gardens, artistic installations, and agricultural projects at the LUGA exhibition?

The LUGA – Luxembourg Urban Garden exhibition concluded in style on 18 October 2025 in Luxembourg City and 19 October 2025 in Ettelbruck. After 182 days of open-air exhibitions spanning over 15 km, featuring 80 urban gardens, landscape and artistic installations, agricultural projects, a LUGA Art Trail, and more than 1,500 events, LUGA captivated the public. It offered residents and visitors a moment of relaxation and well-being, while encouraging collective reflection on how we wish to live together and the role we want to give to nature in our cities.

Although the temporary exhibition has now ended, some installations will continue to carry the spirit of LUGA beyond 2025. Several urban gardens, landscape, and artistic projects will be made permanent by the City of Luxembourg, while other gardens will be relocated to new sites. These installations thus enjoy a second life and provide public spaces for relaxation.

Furthermore, as part of the LUGA ReCycle program, plants from the exhibition were redistributed to the public through distribution events. Materials and equipment used in the exhibition were either donated or sold through a call for expressions of interest to encourage reuse.

Through these initiatives, LUGA reaffirms its ambition to embed the exhibition in a framework of sustainability, circularity, and reuse, ensuring that the positive impact of LUGA 2025 continues long after its closure.

LUGA ReCycle

As part of the LUGA ReCycle program, several initiatives have been implemented to give a second life to elements of the exhibition, in line with the LUGA eco-responsibility charter. Urban gardens and landscape or artistic installations are reused and reconstructed at new sites. Remaining materials, as well as technical equipment, are donated or sold at accessible prices to partners and associations. Plants from the flowered areas are redistributed to the public free of charge, enjoying great popularity. Finally, designer Noé Barthel creates upcycled furniture and decorative objects from exhibition materials — including signage — extending LUGA’s sustainable spirit.
