ABOUT THE FAIR
The Forest Garden Market at the historic Krumme Estate in Velen is an annual public fair dedicated to sustainable living, a deep connection with nature, and creative garden design. Set amidst the picturesque parkland of a traditional family-owned estate passed down through generations, the event offers a unique atmosphere and an authentic experience for nature lovers, gardening enthusiasts, and connoisseurs alike.
Organized by Landgut Krumme GmbH & Co. KG, the market places ecological awareness, artisanal quality, and regional diversity at its core. Through the Forest Garden Market, the Krumme family expresses their commitment to nature and their desire to make sustainable living a tangible experience. The carefully curated selection on offer in early May reflects this philosophy: visitors can expect rare plants, handcrafted garden furniture, tasteful decorative items, eco-friendly building materials, and regional delicacies. Also featured are custom-designed jewelry, creative fashion, artisanal crafts, and seasonal treats—from fresh asparagus and grilled specialties to homemade cakes and aromatic coffee.
A standout feature of the market is its extensive supporting program. Workshops, talks, and guided tours invite visitors to explore topics such as natural garden design, ecological living, and environmental conservation. It’s more than just a marketplace—it’s a space that inspires a more mindful lifestyle in harmony with nature.
Admission is free. The event appeals to hobby gardeners, DIY enthusiasts, nature lovers, and families alike. With its blend of historical charm, carefully selected offerings, and genuine sustainability, the Forest Garden Market has become a beloved meeting point—well beyond the local region. A true feast for the senses.
The Forest Garden Market (Waldgartenmarkt) will take place on 3 days from Friday, 30. April to Sunday, 02. May 2027 in Velen.
