DURABILITY<\/h2>\n

One of our priorities is to produce our plants more and more sustainably.\u00a0Back in the 90s, we already started using cogeneration (CHPs).\u00a0This makes the gas we use for the heating of the greenhouses more efficient.\u00a0Electricity is generated when the gas is burned.\u00a0This releases heat and CO2 which is used again for growing the plants.\u00a0We are currently thinking about the next step.\u00a0Solar panels have been installed for this purpose and we are looking into new techniques to make the nursery even more sustainable.\u00a0The use of crop protection products has also decreased considerably over the years and we continue to innovate to keep this as low as possible.<\/p>\n

A SUSTAINABLE NURSERY<\/h2>\n

All in all, we continuously take steps to be more and more sustainable.\u00a0That is how we can keep on providing consumers with our beautiful products.\u00a0This is at the heart of our existence!\u00a0We try to achieve this by giving attention to sustainability in various ways.<\/p>\n
