BOSKOOP, Netherlands: Plantarium, is planning to combine with Groen-Direkt to form a single event that is organised several times a year. The inaugural edition of Plantarium/Groen-Direkt will take place between 24-25 August 2022.

Groen-Direkt’s Taaf van Rosbergen and Plantarium’s Jan de Vries raise their glasses to a combined Plantarium/Groen-Direkt show.

In the past two years, Covid regulations forced Plantarium to cancel its fairs and GROEN-Direkt to scale back events. In the pre Covid era, the two fairs were already held under one roof.

The inaugural of Plantarium/Groen-Direkt show is scheduled to take place on 24 and 25 August 2022 at the International Trade Centre in Hazerswoude/Boskoop, the Netherlands.

GROEN-Direkt will continue to organise its traditional successful trolley fair, which will coincide with this new event. The aim for the coming years is to develop Plantarium|GROEN-Direkt into an event that is organised several times a year.
