ABOUT THE FAIR
The Pflanzl- und Gartlerkirtag in Pregarten is an annual public fair that has become a well-established fixture in Upper Austria's event calendar. Since its inception in 2007 by the Pregarten Settlers’ Association, the fair has grown from a small insider tip with just 27 exhibitors into one of the region’s most popular events. Today, it draws thousands of garden enthusiasts and nature lovers each year to the picturesque parkland surrounding the Parish Church of Pregarten—an atmospheric setting that blends urban charm with rural tranquility, providing an ideal backdrop for the vibrant fair.
What sets this market apart is its unique combination of local roots, expert knowledge, and a genuine passion for all things that grow and flourish. The Pflanzl- und Gartlerkirtag appeals to both hobby gardeners and anyone who values a sustainable, nature-connected lifestyle. It is informative, inspiring, and hands-on. Visitors encounter rare plant varieties and handcrafted art pieces, regional delicacies, expert advice, and a shared enthusiasm that bridges generations.
At its heart, the fair celebrates flowers, plants, and herbs—including rare species and special cultivars. The offerings are rounded out by high-quality garden products, exclusive furniture, functional tools, and decorative elements for home and garden. Artisan craftwork holds a special place at the event: handmade ceramics and creative accessories add unique touches and invite discovery.
Culinary highlights are provided by regional specialties, such as homemade pasta, farm-fresh bread, fine cheeses and sausages, fruit preserves, oils, vinegars, as well as selected wines and spirits from across Austria.
A key feature of the fair is its extensive range of information and advisory services. At the main booth, gardening experts offer practical tips on planting, pruning, fertilization, and crown shaping. In-depth talks provide valuable insights into sustainable gardening and offer fresh inspiration for personal green spaces. Young visitors are also well catered for, with a child-friendly program that ensures fun and variety throughout the day.
The Pflanzl- und Gartlerkirtag is more than just a plant market—it is a vibrant celebration of gardening culture, rural living, and regional diversity. A feast for the senses, it brings together valuable knowledge, unique products, and heartfelt connections in a charming, green setting—right in the heart of Pregarten.
The Pflanzl- und Gartlerkirtag takes place annually, and therefore for the eighteenth time previsibly in April 2027 in Pregarten.
