Geranium Market Aurich

Spring Market with a Clear Focus

The Geranium Market Aurich is not a specialty market with a wide-ranging assortment, but a focused spring ritual centered around one plant: the geranium. On the central market square, stalls from horticultural businesses from Aurich and the surrounding area line up, presenting thousands of blooming plants in all colors, varieties, and sizes.

What Visitors Can Take Home

The focus is on geraniums, both upright and trailing varieties (Pelargonium zonale and peltatum). Additionally, exhibitors offer summer blooms, balcony plants, perennials, Mediterranean plants, tomato plants, and everything that can be replanted in May for gardens and balconies. Advice is included: the garden centers provide care tips and advise on location, watering, and overwintering.

Sunday Shopping

Accompanying the market, there is a Sunday shopping event in the Aurich city center. Fashion stores, bakeries, cafés, and small boutiques open their doors, making the day a combined shopping, gardening, and strolling experience. This gives the Geranium Market a character that extends far beyond just buying plants.

East Frisian Tradition

Aurich families consider the Geranium Market a fixed spring ritual: once in May to the market, buy plants, meet family and friends, and stop by a café in the pedestrian zone. A typical provincial town event with its own character and enduring charm.
