Show Your Colours Garden Centre to continue at IPM

 

The Show Your Colours Garden Centre, introduced last year, will return in an expanded form at IPM 2026. In addition to the unique presentation of concept tables in a garden centre setting complete with POS materials, daily demonstrations will take place in which special pot/plant combinations are created to boost sales.

 

The Show Your Colours Garden Centre can be found at the BIZZ Holland stand (hall 8, stand numbers A31 & A21). Fourteen renowned brands are participating in this year’s presentation: Addenda, Amigra, Boomkamp, Cammeraat Potcultuur BV, Colour Your Season, Decorum, Duif International, Floriworld, Fruithof BV, Koetsier Vaste Planten/Vips, Magical Hydrangea, R. Moerings Waterplantenkwekerij, Van Oploo Tuinplanten & Select, and Vreugdenhil Young Plants.

 

Show Your Colours Garden Centre

In the Show Your Colours Garden Centre, brand recognition is strengthened through consistent branding and strong visual communication. This makes it easier for customers to connect with the brands. Visitors to the Show Your Colours Garden Centre will gain plenty of inspiration for special campaigns and practical support for sharing plant characteristics and care tips with their own customers. In addition, daily demonstrations will be given by Judith de Frankrijker. From her mobile counter, she will create inspiring and surprising pot/plant combinations.

 

IPM Essen

IPM Essen, the leading trade fair for horticulture and the key meeting place for the green sector, will take place from 27 to 30 January 2026. Exhibitors from around the world will present their innovative products and services in the fields of plants, technology, floristry, and garden design. The Dutch tree and ornamental plant nursery sector is traditionally strongly represented at this important event. No fewer than 40 companies from the various nursery regions of the Netherlands will present themselves together in the BIZZ Holland stand in the “Netherlands” hall, hall 8, located directly at the “Ost” entrance of the vast exhibition complex in Essen, Germany.

 

Complete range

A wide range of Dutch nursery products will be presented at the BIZZ Holland stand, from avenue trees, ornamental shrubs, conifers, roses, and perennials to propagation material and various services.
