Seasonal fairs in 2023 with Meet & Trade

In the top three months of the year, GROEN-Direkt organises four seasonal fairs. The Spring Days is the first seasonal fair in the series, where besides the extended opening hours, the huge seasonal assortment is also a good reason to visit the Spring Days. Thousands of sample lots, Solitaries, Mediterranean imports and Concepts will be on display on 3 and 4 April. The Spring Days includes Meet & Trade. The Continuous Assortment will be renewed at the Spring Days.

NEW in 2023: Meet & Trade and Continuous Assortment

New in 2023 is the introduction of Meet & Trade and the Continuous Assortment. Meet & Trade allows garden plant buyers and growers to meet each other. During the special peak hours (Monday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and Tuesday morning from 9 a.m. - 11 a.m.), garden plant buyers and traders meet growers at their 2CC stand while enjoying coffee, sandwiches, and a hot snack. The Continuous Assortment will remain purchasable in the physical and online offerings for an extended period of time. This assortment involves products that maintain the same growth and flowering stage for a longer period, such as Buxus, Prunus and Taxus.
