The Internationale Gartenbauausstellung 93 (short: IGA 93) was held in Stuttgart, Germany. Recognised by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), the Expo ran from April 23, 1993, to October 17, 1993. Held at Wartenberg and Killesberg parks, the goal was to be visually and functionally integrated with two prominent features of Stuttgart's landscape, the Wartberg and the Leibfriedscher Garten. This was achieved. The long-term goal to create a U-shaped greenbelt around the city (known as the Grünes U) became a reality. The mascot of the horticultural show was "Flori", a bird in a cowboy hat. Overall, 7.3 million people visited the show, exceeding projections of 7 million.
