Busy first Orchid Inspiration Days event


Thirteen orchid specialists were feeling ‘more than satisfied’ after the first Orchid Inspiration Days event.

The special partnership, which has joined forces to inspire and inform clients and end clients about the company’s range of innovations, has borne fruit. Most notably, this commercial orchid event has also attracted international end customers.  Many vendors and retailers from across Europe came to experience the world of orchids.

Valued visitors at orchid business event

The event has new name, a distinctive appearance, engaging communication and an individual and exciting programme. The participating  nurseries were Aphrodite Orchidee, GreenBalanZ, Van der Hoorn Orchideeën, Orchids4all, Cympha Orchideeën, Pannekoek Orchideeën, Stolk Flora, De Vreede Holland, Levoplant, Lansbergen Orchideeën, OK Plant, Opti-flor and Piet Vijverberg. The success of the event can be seen in the positive visitors numbers. The Inspiration Days took place before and during the Flower Trails, to allow people to plan their visit to the Netherlands more easily. 

Orchid inspiration continues online and in 2018

Customers and potential end customers, at home and abroad, could see that the participating nurseries had pulled out all the stops for this event, with each company showcasing their own exceptional business’, said one of the orchid growers. Photos from the event can be found on the website and on social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. An after-movie is also available to watch. The organisers and participants of the Orchid Inspiration Days are grateful to all the visitors who attended this year and the interest they showed. To continue to provide the same inspiration next year, visitors are already invited to attend Orchid Inspiration Days 2018.
