Plant Rarities Market South: Rare Treasures for Garden Lovers in Illertissen
On Saturday, June 6, 2026, the perennial nursery Gaißmayer in Illertissen, in collaboration with the Museum of Garden Culture, transforms into a paradise for plant enthusiasts. At the first Plant Rarities Market South, exceptional rarities, knowledgeable exchanges, and the unique market atmosphere of the green sector come together.
A Market for Explorers and Collectors
About 30 dedicated plant collectors from home and abroad will bring their special treasures: carnivorous plants, rare succulents, Mediterranean beauties, and other botanical wonders. The market starts at 9 AM and opens until 4 PM. This creates a shopping experience that consciously sets itself apart from a traditional weekly market and sharpens the eye for special things.
Regional Expertise Meets Plant Diversity
Since 1980, the perennial nursery Gaißmayer has stood for large assortments, gardening experience, and a close connection to plant culture. At the young cattle pasture in Illertissen, traditional craftsmanship meets sustainable knowledge. Visitors encounter direct marketers, specialized nurseries, and collectors who present their plants with passion and expertise.
Atmosphere Between Show Gardens and Sales Stands
The grounds provide the perfect setting for a market full of color, fragrance, and inspiration. Between nurseries, show gardens, and museum areas, a nature-oriented backdrop unfolds, inviting browsing, questions, and discoveries. Those in search of special garden ideas, unique seasonal goods, or rare plants will find strong impulses for their own garden here.
Access, Parking, and Practical Information
The access is well marked, and parking spaces are available. For arrival via public transport, Illertissen train station is recommended; on event days, a shuttle bus runs every 20 minutes to the site. On site, cash payment is possible, and some stands also accept card payments. The area is spacious, and the path from the bus stop is paved and easily walkable.
Conclusion
The Plant Rarities Market South brings together extraordinary plants, professional depth, and regional garden culture in one location. Anyone wanting to discover rare plants and engage directly with specialists should experience this event live in Illertissen.
