Annual plant market at Ökowerk Emden with young plants, homemade goods, and the Pomarium during apple blossom season
The Ökowerk Emden is a nature experience and environmental education center on the outskirts of the East Frisian port city. On an area of approximately 6 hectares, themed gardens, a Pomarium with historical apple varieties, mixed orchards, a farm with animals, and wild bee observation areas are maintained. It is operated by the Stiftung Ökowerk Emden, which manages the site as an extracurricular learning location, event center, and recreational area.
The annual plant market is one of the Ökowerk's most popular events. Market stalls offer a wide range of young plants, perennials, herbs, vegetable seedlings, heirloom tomato varieties, flower bulbs, and seeds. In addition, homemade goods (jams, syrups, honey, crafts) and organic products are available. The exhibitors are regional nurseries, hobby growers, beekeepers, and craftspeople.
A miniature railway operates for families, taking children around the grounds. The farm animals can be visited, and the Pomarium is open during the apple blossom season, offering a special occasion for a spring walk. Culinary offerings (coffee and homemade cake, snacks, bratwurst, juices) cater to the visitors.
In 2025, the plant market recorded a visitor record with around 2,000 attendees. The 2026 event is expected to attract similar interest. Admission to the Ökowerk grounds is free during the plant market.
The 2026 Plant Market continues the successful concept and is an important spring date for garden and nature enthusiasts from Emden and the surrounding East Frisian region. The variety of young plant exhibitors covers all interests, from Mediterranean herb gardens to heirloom tomato varieties.
The timing with the apple blossom season in the Pomarium makes the visit a visual experience: over 100 historical apple varieties bloom simultaneously during this period, offering a unique spectacle.
The 2026 program is confirmed on the Ökowerk website:
