Unusual Plants Days At this event is a huge selection of weird and wonderful plants from all the best growers in Switzerland. In the words of Lisa, 'We bought two clematis there last year and we haven't managed to kill them yet!÷In fact they are spreading like wildfire. Honestly, it's worth a visit because the plants, all for sale, are stunning.÷You can find fruit trees, bushes, herbs, carnivorous plants - ok, we did kill that one but it was an accident- and a whole lot more. There's usually a screech for little kids who donut appreciate the splendors of nature, and boys with wheelbarrows to transport your purchases to the pick-up point.' |

Village of Le Landeron |
Brocante - antique flea market Located in one of the most adorable ancient villages in Switzerland this flea market is one of my favorites. Whereas the Neuchâtel brocante is composed mostly of antique dealers, this antique market seems to draw sellers who are into it only part time. Many prices are still expensive, but you can find better deals, and more interesting, unique items to look at. More information about the Brocante (in French) |
