Block week 24 now! This year’s edition of the FlowerTrials® will take place from 9th to 12th June 2015. No less than 49 companies will open their doors to display the latest assortment in pot and bedding plants to wholesalers, growers and retailers in the Westland and Aalsmeer area in the Netherlands and in Rhineland Westfalen in Germany. All locations are open for visitors from 08.00 to 17.00 hrs and in addition will remain open until 21.00 hrs on the Thursday evening in order to allow more local growers the opportunity to visit after hours.

Each year, more companies show state of the art plant material to an increasing number of visitors from across the world. The FlowerTrials® has turned into an event not to be missed!”
