  • © Congerdesign on Pixabay

Hobby gardeners are born in the Mitmachgartenbau. The market gardening business invites you to harvest in the fields and in the greenhouses. The know-how and tools are available on site.

Do you want to enjoy fresh fruit, vegetables or herbs? Then join the Mitmachgartenbau ("participatory gardening")! Here, depending on the season, you can harvest and enjoy different varieties directly from the region. There are also jams and home-made desserts. Herbal products, including vinegars, oils, herbal teas or lovingly prepared herbal mixtures, can also be purchased.

For spontaneous

The self-harvesting season is from the end of May to the end of September. If you feel like fresh fruit and vegetables, just come by and pick to your heart's content from the trees, bushes and plants. Registration is not necessary. Spades and knives are available on site. Our tip: Bring an empty box or basket for the fresh harvest. 

Vegetable growing area in Hamburg

The Vier- und Marschlande is one of the largest vegetable growing areas in Germany. There are vegetables, fruit and herbs. All varieties are labelled and facilitate professional harvesting. At the end of the day you pay for what you have harvested.
