On 6 April 2012, the international horticultural exhibition Floriade 2012 will open its doors to the public. This 64-hectare horticultural showcase will not only preserve the area’s existing forestry resources, but will enhance the site with the planting of additional trees. Already, 1500 large calipre trees – about 85 per cent of the new plantings scheduled for Floriade 2012 – have been planted.

Plantarium, one of the most important annual horticultural trade shows in The Netherlands has chosen the theme of “Talent” for its 2010 event. Talent is regarded as valuable and suggests the notions of beautiful, useful, and new. With its usual line-up of new initiatives, new developments and new introductions, Plantarium 2010 will show off the many talents of the nursery sector.
