People come to this market to take, ask advice on how to grow plants.
Today's market still keeps its old name from when it first began in 1897. The market abides by its tradition. Farmers from surrounding areas would arrive very early in the morning to sell their produce to the wholesalers. Thereafter flowers are sent off to the far corners of Europe by train.
