EAD invites you to a planting event and insights into sustainable cycles
The City of Darmstadt invites everyone to a planting day at the Kranichstein composting facility on Saturday, April 18, 2026. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Eckhardwiesenstraße and is organized by the Darmstadt Municipal Services Department.
Edible cycle in focus
The focus of this year's planting day is on sustainable cycles. Visitors can learn about the so-called "Darmstadt soil" and tour the associated carbonization plant.
In addition, a seed exchange box is offered. For the first time, pre-grown plants can also be exchanged.
Planting balcony boxes and activities for children
On-site, you can have your own flower boxes and containers planted at a reasonable price. The Aumühle nursery from Wixhausen provides a selection of seasonal and bee-friendly plants for this purpose.
Even children can get involved: Reusable flower pots can be decorated and then planted. The materials used decompose in the garden within a few months.
Exchange seeds and get tips
The Edible Darmstadt e.V. initiative provides its seed exchange box and information on how to use it. The aim is to promote the exchange of seeds and strengthen regional plant diversity.
