A colourful tasty tomato salad, blue fried potatoes and a carpaccio featuring red-and-white ringed Chioggia beetroot: grow great-tasting summer meals from seedlings bought at the ProSpecieRara seedling market in Weggis.
Saunter along the spring-like promenade and marvel at the sea of colourful flowers and blossoms. The market's a source of almost-forgotten vegetable and ornamental plant seedlings that you can take home and nurture to encourage biodiversity in your garden.
The mild climate on the shores of Lake Lucerne allowed Weggis to supply the city of Lucerne with fresh produce such as fruit, vegetables and flowers for centuries. Even now, many of the region's farmers devote their efforts to species-rich agriculture. The delightful lake shore scenery is perfect for reviving ancient and rare plant species.
