Visiting Berlin at Der Holländer Pflanzencenter.
Next time we’ll bring our ice skates! 😊
Such a great atmosphere and inspiring presentations in the different departments!
The past few days we visited Bellaflora in Austria, completely immersed in the cozy autumn and Christmas atmosphere! 🎄✨
The stores looked beautiful, featuring a stunning collection of Calluna, Skimmia, Helleborus, Gaultheria, and many other charming seasonal items. 🍂🌸
After the fair in Valencia last week, we spent a few more days visiting various growers at different locations in Spain.
Among them were Nerium, Trachycarpus, and olive trees in various pot sizes.
In the coming period, we’ll carefully inventory everything for the fair and the upcoming spring season, and finalize the reservations and promotions for 2026.
One thing’s for sure: a top selection from Italy and Spain is coming in 2026!
Today in Spain at the Iberflora fair! 🌿
We have exciting new collaborations in the pipeline to expand our import range starting next spring.
What an inspiration, completely in the spirit of the beautiful Mediterranean outdoor lifestyle! 🌸🌞
🌿 The day trade in garden and indoor plants continues to be in full swing!
All other day trade that arrived today has now been neatly checked and sorted per customer.
The current and visually attractive range of indoor and garden plants is once again ready to be loaded this evening and tonight, ensuring timely delivery to our garden centre customers at home and abroad.
Every day a fresh and diverse selection ready for a colourful autumn! 🍂🍃
The day trade in garden and houseplants continues to be full of movement!
This morning’s arrivals in garden plants show that Gaultheria, Helleborus, Picea conica, violas, and Calluna are this week’s bestsellers.
The selection of houseplants also remains surprisingly diverse and always fresh.
🔥 Winter BBQ at OK Plant!
A cozy client/partner day enjoying some great meat with a few colleagues, and of course talking about and with our green friends 🌿😉
The past few days we were in Pistoia to reserve stock for 2026 and to select items for our Spring Fair. 🌿
Next spring, we’ll be focusing even more on commercial trade and the top-selling products for garden centres. For the real enthusiasts among us, we’ve also reserved several Cupressus sempervirens ‘Stricta’ — an impressive 12 metres tall! 🤩
To round off the week, we did a tour at Groot Groen in Zundert.
We are now fully up to date on the latest innovations and the current trade for the coming months and the upcoming spring.
Today we lent a hand with the reorganization in the cold greenhouse at Tuinwereld Dordrecht.
Amidst the major renovation 🔨 you can already find a beautiful mix of cyclamen, violas, calluna, calocephalus, ornamental pumpkins, leucothoe and gaultheria.
Autumn 🍂 is also the perfect time to plant new additions in your garden.
At Tuincentrum Leurs, we introduced a unique sales concept today.
In four thematic worlds – Pure, Energy, Focus, and Relax – visitors receive clear explanations about the air-purifying qualities of plants.
They will also find straightforward information about what a plant can contribute to their living environment.
This way, choosing becomes not only easier but also more meaningful: why am I buying this plant?

Last week, the annual Autumn Fair took place at Plant Collect in Boskoop. During the fair, the complete range of garden and houseplants was once again presented, in combination with the Plantbeeb® concept.
It is encouraging to see that the interest in Plantbeeb® remains consistently high. Last week, several new garden centers joined the concept, even though Plantbeeb® has only been available in garden centers for half a year. The continued interest confirms the value and success of the concept.
Everything is upside down! We have begun building on our Autumn Fair which will be held on Wednesday, August 21 and Thursday, August 22.
As always, everything is running smoothly 😊. See you all next week! By appointment only and not for individuals.
Soon an exciting development within Plantbeeb®. 📱🌿
We’re bringing even more convenience for both consumers and garden center staff.
The experts are already lining up. 😜
More information will follow soon—don’t miss it!

Concrete floor poured!
Last week we had the first shipments in the new building.
Lovely work and how happy the drivers were with the docs 😊.
Full completion is scheduled for next summer.
The facade and overhead doors are just about in.
And we can almost start using the docks as well! On to the exterior floor and finishes! 💪
On the Road
Update new construction!
The first pole struck! 🎉
Due to the continued growth that Plant Collect has experienced in recent years, we will begin construction of an additional processing area including docks in mid-September.
The new building will come on the adjacent plot we purchased in June of this year.
From the current 2200 m2 of processing space, we will move to a total area of 5700 m2 of processing space. A great step that we are very proud of!
From mid-January, both house and garden plants will be loaded in Boskoop.
Also the transporters will be very happy with the docks 😉
Today, with the purchase of the connecting plot, we have made an important step for the future!
