"Green is Life" was the motto of the first Nursery Exhibition of Decorative and Fruit Trees and Shrubs, held on August 27-29, 1993 in the Crystal Hall of the Warsaw School of Agriculture (SGGW). It was organized by the Polish Nurserymen's Association (Związek Szkółkarzy Polskich) with the cooperation of SGGW. Twenty five members of the Polish Nurserymen's Association participated.

This exhibition was the first major presentation of Polish nursery production. After many years of a state monopoly in the sale of nursery material, producers attempted to establish direct contacts with wholesalers and store owners. The exhibition provided an overview of Polish nursery production capabilities. One of its main goals was the promotion of trees and shrubs as a significant component of a healthier environment for man. This was the inspiration for the "Green is life" theme. Under this proven motto, subsequent exhibitions were organized by the Polish Nurserymen's Association.


In 1994 at the International Nursery Exhibition for the first time, nurserymen from another country - Holland - were invited, under the auspices of the Dutch organization devoted to promotion - Plant Publicity Holland. 
In addition to plants, nursery production technology and items were also presented in 38 booths. Outside of the exhibition hall, sample solutions for garden arrangements, created by leading landscape architects, were demonstrated.


This also started the dynamic development of the exhibition, becoming the most important trade fair of plants and gardening technology in Central-Eastern Europe. It presently hosts nearly 300 exhibitors, including over 90 Polish nurseries.

The "Green is Life" Exhibition is traditionally organized around the end of August and the beginning of September - at the commencement of the fall gardening season, during the time that presented plant material is in its best condition.
