Registration for stands at the PLANTARIUM|GROEN-Direkt fair now open

 

Registration is now open for people who would like to exhibit their ware at the PLANTARIUM|GROEN-Direkt fair. The fair, which will take place on 24 and 25 August 2022, will present a complete survey of the latest range of garden plants, including all innovations and novelties, making it the largest garden plant event for European professional gardeners and landscapers, and an absolute must for any grower and trader to present their company and products.

 

PLANTARIUM|GROEN-Direkt will take place in and around GROEN-Direkt’s hall at the International Trade Centre in Hazerswoude/Boskoop (the Netherlands). There is a choice of three participation concepts:

  • Basic Stand, exclusively for the presentation of plants, exclusively on CC trolleys;
  • Comfort Stand, involving a basic stand, which may also be used for the presentation of non-live products;
  • Premium Stand  – you are free to design your own stand for an exclusive presentation of your own identity.
  • Extensive ranges of sizes and additional services are available for all three concepts.

To register

To register for participation in the fair, simply go to the plantariumgroendirekt.nl/exhibitors website. Early registration offers you the following advantages:

  • A guaranteed place at the fair (the total number of available square metres is limited)
  • A discount on the price per square metre (for registrations received by 15 May 2022 at the latest)
  • Any specific stand requirements can be met as well as possible
  • You will benefit most from all the PR and communication activities that will be organised in relation to the fair.
  • Stand positions will be allocated by the fair’s organisers.

PLANTARIUM|GROEN-Direkt

The new PLANTARIUM|GROEN-Direkt fair is the outcome of the merger of the Plantarium trade fair of the Stichting Vakbeurs voor de Boomkwekerij (SVB; Nursery Trade Fair Foundation) and GROEN-Direkt’s Product Promotion Plaza. In the years to come, Plantarium|GROEN-Direkt will hopefully evolve into an event that will be organised several times a year. The fairs will be organised by a five-member team on behalf of the Green Retail Events fair organisation.

 

Pieter Heemskerk, who is responsible for sales, will gladly discuss the benefits of participation in the fair with prospective exhibitors. “The fair will provide a complete survey of the latest range of garden plants. Along with GROEN-Direkt’s already extremely popular sample fairs and the presentation of lots of novelties this will definitely be the go-to fair for garden plant buyers from all over Europe to acquaint themselves with the range for the autumn season. The fair is intended for both growers who would like to draw attention to their products in their presentations, and companies wishing to focus on their entire organisation, including their products and additional services. Suppliers active in the greenery sector may also present their products here. I’m certain we’ll be able to offer all companies a suitable place at the fair, and I will gladly discuss the various options,” says Pieter.
