Large turnout for first seasonal fair in two years

 

Due to COVID-19, GROEN-Direkt could not organize seasonal fairs in the desired form with exhibitors for two years.

 

On Monday 4 and Tuesday 5 April, this was broken and the first major seasonal fair with exhibitors took place: the GROEN-Direkt Spring Days.

 

Partly due to the extremely bad weather, the organization had no idea if there would be many visitors. But the expectations were far exceeded! The Spring Days were well attended. 

 

The enormous range of 4,000 unique sample lots, many beautiful large solitary plants, an extensive concept presentation and more than twenty suppliers on the Product Promotion Square ensured that visitors were positively surprised and, as always, came in large numbers to the fair.

 

Trade show visitors took their time for both the enormous assortment and the well-stocked growers' square.

 

Sales were good, but the uncertainty in the trade was reflected in many conversations on the show floor. The consumer is cautious and the purchasing follows suit. All in all, the fair organization is satisfied and there was a pleasant bustle at the GROEN-Direkt Spring Days! 

 

Did you not have the opportunity to visit the Spring Days? Then come to the GROEN-Direkt High Seasons Days on Monday 2 and Tuesday 3 May.
