A Plant Market in the Heart of the Hanseatic City

The Greifswald Garden Market takes place annually on a Sunday in early May in the historic market square. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the market offers primarily garden plants, perennials, fruit trees, and herbs from regional nurseries and garden centers in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The selection caters to hobby gardeners as well as experienced plant lovers looking to refresh their balconies, backyards, or allotment gardens.

Arts, Crafts, and Garden Furniture

In addition to the rich plant selection, regional artisans present their work: handmade wrought iron objects, woven baskets, turned wood items, mosaics, and garden furniture made of wood and metal. Useful garden tools and seeds of old varieties are also available.

Lost Bicycle Auction as a Special Feature

A Greifswald tradition is the public auction of around 50 unclaimed lost bicycles, which the market offers concurrently. After a preview, the auction begins at 12 p.m. — mostly adult bicycles are auctioned. Those with luck and a good eye can ride home with a solid bike at a low price.

Local Context

Greifswald is part of the Vorpommern-Greifswald district in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The Hanseatic city, with its red brick Gothic architecture and proximity to the Baltic Sea, provides a charming backdrop for this spring event. The garden market is part of a regular series of markets curated by the city's market office throughout the year.
