The stand by J.G. Cammeraat vof from Boskoop (above) was selected as the best Green stand at Plantarium 2015 by the jury of the Royal Boskoop Horticultural Society. The Retail Experience Shop by TPK Media & Events from Nieuwstadt (below) was awarded this title in the Suppliers category.

The jury were full of praise about the stand by J.G. Cammeraat vof: The stand has a fantastic image with clear, eye-catching presentation. There is uniformity in the labelling and the image of the stand as a whole. The products, which are displayed in various sizes, are of top quality and there is a good colour balance in the presentation of the grasses. The stand is extremely well presented and is therefore the well-deserved winner of “best stand at Plantarium 2015”, according to the jury.

Best Suppliers stand

The Retail Experience Shop, the stand by TPK Media & Events, is the best stand in the Suppliers category. The stand offers an inspirational colour experience. The total combination of products will give customers plenty of ideas! Second place went to Rovero from Raamsdonksveer. The stand clearly demonstrates their range, with equally clear explanations. Third place went to the stand by Aeroplas Europe BV from Zevenaar. On this stand, the products are presented in an appealing and homely way.

Green participants

Second prize for the Green participants went to Boomkwekerij Koningstuin from Helenaveen. The products on display are of extremely high quality with long cultivation periods, and the attractive Pinus varieties are shown to their best advantage in a relaxed presentation. Third place went to Kolster BV from Boskoop. This stand displays extremely attractive products and conveys the outdoor lifestyle in an appealing way.

Judging

The Royal Boskoop Horticultural Society (KVBC) judged the entries. All the green stands were judged according to the same criteria, namely product quality, presentation and range, with quality counting for the most points. This method allowed the stands to be judged in a fair and objective way and meant that smaller standholders were also eligible for a high score. A special jury committee judged the Suppliers stands with the following criteria in mind: total presentation, which message does the stand convey, is there an eye-catcher which attracts attention and is there a connection with the theme of Plantarium 2015?

The 33rd edition of Plantarium ran from 26 to 29 August 2015 in the Plantarium building at the International Trade Centre Boskoop-Hazerswoude. For further information, please visit www.plantarium.nl.
