Artisanal Plant Market: why only in the fall?

The Artisanal Plant Market takes place every year in the fall, and there is an important reason for this: this is the perfect season for planting and potting.

It is tempting to buy plants in the spring or even in the summer, because they often look their best. However, it is better for a plant – and ultimately for you – to postpone this for a while. You will get much stronger plants in return, and that is for these reasons:

The ground is still warm in the fall, so your new plants will still take root well before the cold winter sets in. Above ground, your plants may be largely dormant in the fall, but below ground the roots are still growing. This way, they get a flying start in the spring.
In addition, it is often a bit wetter in autumn, which is nice if you have just planted plants, as they need a lot of water.
In the fall it is time to plant your flower bulbs, so that they can follow their natural rhythm. In the spring they will then come into full bloom.

Autumn is therefore also the right time to turn your garden over or adjust a border. Get inspired at the Craft Plant Market and go home with a head full of inspiration and a trunk full of new plants. In the spring you can then enjoy the result in your garden.

All our favorite growers together in a beautiful location: on September 27 and 28, Landgoed de Wiersse organizes the Ambachtelijke Plantenmarkt . This will be a day full of the most beautiful plants and most interesting growers, but you can also expect a nice program and of course an atmospheric place on the estate. The emphasis is on sustainable plant material, the real grower and the importance of gardens and gardening for a climate-proof future.
