TOP-EVENT

Spring is just around the corner and your balcony must be looking a bit empty – time to get some wild plants and fill it with some life.

This year’s wild plant market on Bundesplatz is all about gardening and the organic production of wild perennials.

Visitors to the market can learn which seeds should be sown when and how, and how to propagate different plants using cuttings or division. The market will also demonstrate the importance of the right substrate for successfully growing plants.

The picture shows a scene at a market in Bern, Switzerland, which specialises in the sale of geraniums. In the foreground you can see an old, green delivery van whose loading area is filled with bright red geraniums. A man on the right is looking after the plants. In the background are market stalls and several people chatting and looking at the goods on display. The atmosphere is lively and friendly, and the sunny weather contributes to the pleasant mood. The surrounding buildings and the church in the background indicate that the market takes place in a historic part of the city.
