Amsterdam - Flower Market of Amsterdam Bloemenmarkt

 
The flower market on the Singel in Amsterdam is a Mecca for anyone in search of trees, shrubs, plants, flowers or herbs for the home, garden or balcony. Cut flowers and pot plants of every variety, even palms as tall as a man, are offered for sale on the street and on the boats, the whole scene looking like a colorful garden. It is also possible to buy everything imaginable for the garden, such as peat, soil, fertilizer, seeds, tools, watering cans and plant pots.

Must-see attractions nearby:
The flower market has not always been on the Singel; in the 17th C. it was held every Monday in the summer in St Luciensteeg, near the present-day Historical Museum. It must have had a huge selection to offer then, too, since one contemporary complained that it was difficult and tiresome to list the names of the shrubs and plants on sale.
Hours:
9am-5pm; Closed: Sun
Transit: Tram: 1, 2 , 4, 5, 9, 16, 24, 25.
