Discover the complete spring offer on PLANTARIUM|GROEN-Direkt

 

The Spring Edition 2025 of PLANTARIUM|GROEN-Direkt takes place in Hazerswoude/Boskoop on Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 February 2025.

 

This event offers an overview of the latest garden plant trends and current developments in the sector. It targets garden centres, retailers and wholesalers from Europe who buy here and international growers who present their offerings for the new season.

 

With around 175 exhibitors specialising in garden plants, and the simultaneous GROEN-Direkt sample fair, presenting 5,000 direct-order sample lots from 500 growers, this fair offers a complete overview of what is on offer in the green sector this season.

 

Focus on trends and sustainability
During the fair, the focus is on innovation and sustainability. The Green Retail Award and the Wall of Fame present the most outstanding products and concepts. In addition, the Green Future Hub provides a stage for experts and pioneers to discuss solutions and current topics. This year's theme is "Does a brand work?".

 

Visitors can also join a guided tour with Michael Perry, known as 'Mr Plant Geek', who will provide practical insights into product innovations, consumer trends and product presentation through a tour of the show.

 

The combination of PLANTARIUM|GROEN-Direkt and GROEN-Direkt creates a powerful synergy that sets the fair apart from other events in the sector. The presence of thousands of sample lots from hundreds of growers alongside the hundreds of exhibitors creates a relationship fair with an immediate trade opportunity and makes it a must-visit for anyone active in the green sector with an emphasis on European garden plant buyers.
