International Garden Expo 83 (Internationale Gartenbauausstellung 83) was a garden festival containing 170 exhibition contributors, held from April 28 to October 9, 1983 at Westpark in Munich, Germany. Ralph Siegel wrote the ''Flower Serenade'' as official song of the exhibition; it was recorded by Hugo Strasser and his orchestra.〔''Stationen auf dem Weg zur Iga'', Süddeutsche Zeitung vom 28. April 1983, Seite 17〕 The German Federal Post Office issued a special stamp with a stylized flower. For the exhibition, the 60-hectacre Westpark was built. It was modeled by landscape architect Peter Kluska after the shape of subalpine valleys into a previously flat area that was previously both abandoned industrial grounds and farmland. ==The exposition== During the exposition, Westpark was fenced and accessible with an entrance fee. A six-kilometer miniature railway with five stations transported visitors around the grounds. Transportation was linked to the exhibition by a newly build subway branch with three stations along the full length of the park.〔''Stationen auf dem Weg zur Iga'', Süddeutsche Zeitung, 28. April 1983, p 17〕 Three parking lots to the east, north and west were built, including a large one for tour busses. The core of the exhibition was 23 international gardens, planned by gardeners and landscape architects from all over the world.〔Martin Stangl: ''IGA 83 München - official exhibition catalogue''.

Four Asian nations built lasting gardens, two of them with support by German merchants active in those countries. The Peoples Republic of China participated for the first time in a European garden exhibition and contributed a walled garden in the traditional style of a Chinese garden, as a scholar might have build it. Munich's sister city Sapporo build a combination of several traditional elements of a Japanese garden from the Heian period. Thailand erected a Sala with the statue of Gautama Buddha, which became the first consecrated Statue of Gautama Buddha in Germany.〔according to the (CV of the artist Nopradol Khamlae )〕 Nepal contributed a pagoda in woodwork, that was carved by master carvers in Nepal and transported to Germany. It was the first time for about 200 years that Nepali carvers build a full new pagoda.〔 The transport was used for smuggling of about 400 kg of Hashish in cavities.〔''Hasch in Holzbalken geschmuggelt?'' Süddeutsche Zeitung, 9. Juli 1992, p. M3〕 Those four Asian gardens are preserved, almost all other international gardens were torn down after the show ended. The traditional parts of the exhibition were a pattern-allotments, landscaped in the semicircle rose garden, perennial plants and other beds. There were many playgrounds, two restaurants, two beer gardens and a picnic area where visitors could bring their own food and drinks. An alpine garden, a Ferndale and a traditional cottage garden to a converted from Bavaria Bayerwald Haus completed the image of the foothills of the Alps. In line with the growing environmental awareness of the German population for the first time, issues of nature and environmental protection have been included in the exhibition. In the eastern part of the waterscape, water runs out in a wetland with fen-character and a small-scale mosaic of vegetation zones with different surface relief and water supply. It was composed of sod, which was taken from destroyed habitats at various locations by construction projects.〔Alfred Ringler: ''Biotop aus dritter Hand''.
