Berlin Perennial Market in the Botanical Garden (Autumn Edition)

The Specialist Market for Garden Enthusiasts

The Berlin Perennial Market has been the capital's most important plant market for decades – and one of the most significant in Germany. Twice a year (spring and late summer/autumn), Gärtnerhof GmbH brings together the best of German plant cultivation: perennial nurseries, tree nurseries, seed companies, specialists for rare shrubs, wild perennials, Mediterranean plants, berry fruits, and old apple varieties. Anyone interested in gardens and plants plans this weekend well in advance.

The Botanical Garden as a Backdrop

The autumn edition takes place every year in the Botanical Garden Berlin-Dahlem – one of the largest and most diverse botanical gardens in Europe. Around 22,000 plant species grow on 43 hectares; the Great Tropical House, built in 1907, is one of the tallest free-standing greenhouses in the world. The market extends along the paths around the Italian Garden and the entrance area on Königin-Luise-Straße. The combination of market and garden is part of the concept: the garden's day ticket is included in the market admission.

What You'll Find at the Market

The product range for the autumn edition is geared towards the planting season from September to November. Perennials in all variations – peonies, hostas, asters, grasses, wild perennials for natural gardens. Shrubs for autumn planting, from fruit trees to magnolias and rare bushes. Flower bulbs in a large selection – tulips, daffodils, crocuses, snowdrops, but also more unusual species. In addition, books, tools, pottery, seeds, and advice from the gardeners themselves.

Expert Advice as a Unique Selling Point

What makes the Perennial Market unmistakable: Often, the owners of the nurseries themselves are at the stands – plant experts with decades of experience. The advice is therefore on a level you won't find in a garden center. If you come with a specific question ("What grows in my shady bed?", "Which apple variety for the Berlin climate zone?"), you'll get honest, well-founded answers.
