About Kiekeberg Plant Market Spring

On the weekend of April 18 and 19, 2026, the Open Air Museum Kiekeberg in Rosengarten-Ehestorf invites you to the large spring plant market. On both days from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., around 100 exhibitors from Northern Germany will present their range: perennials, roses, herbs, vegetable seedlings, old fruit varieties, wild plants, and rare specialties can be found here by garden enthusiasts from the entire Hamburg metropolitan region. Embedded in the historic setting with half-timbered houses, cottage gardens, and old farmsteads, a special market experience is created, complemented by expert advice, lectures, and workshops. For 2026, a lecture by the well-known organic rose breeder Werner Ruf on the topic of insects in the rose garden is announced, among other things. Catering, a café, and the museum bakery ensure culinary well-being. The plant market is one of the highlights in the museum's event year and a must-attend for hobby gardeners from the entire Harburg district.

Spring Plant Market at Kiekeberg

The spring plant market is one of the most well-attended events in the annual program of the Open Air Museum Kiekeberg. Twice a year, the grounds at Kiekeberg transform into a large garden market – in spring to start the season and again in autumn. The spring edition is all about the planting season and brings together around 100 exhibitors with a high-quality range.

Assortment for Garden Enthusiasts

Perennials, roses, herbs, vegetable seedlings, old fruit varieties, wild plants, seeds, and rare specialties form the core of the offering. Specialty nurseries from Northern Germany present assortments that cannot be found in classic garden centers. Those looking for old apple varieties, historic tomatoes, or bee-friendly wild perennials will find them here, as will collectors of unusual hostas, irises, or peonies.

Lecture Program and Expert Advice

Accompanying the event, exhibitors offer expert advice at their stands. Renowned garden experts are guests in the lecture program, including, in 2026, organic rose breeder Werner Ruf with a lecture on the topic of insects in the rose garden. Workshops on pruning, fertilizing, and plant diseases complement the offerings.

Market in a Historic Setting

The unique ambiance of the Open Air Museum makes the plant market special. Between half-timbered houses, cottage gardens, and old farmsteads, the stands are spread across the extensive grounds, complemented by the regular museum attractions. The café, catering, and museum bakery ensure guests' culinary well-being.
