KEUKENHOF

From the spring of 2024 we will also be at the Keukenhof with our Stinzen plants. We are very proud that we can show our ideas here regarding the design of gardens and parks with these beautiful natural plants.

The group of stinzen plants consists not only of bulbous plants, but also of plants. Many people are not aware of this and we want to change this. The emphasis of the design of the Keukenhof planting is on the Stinzen planting, but of course the link with the Stinzen bulbs is not lacking in such a special place.

The advantage of using Stinzen plants lies in many aspects.

Stinzen plants are an important addition to flora and fauna and indispensable in every garden or park. The stinzen plants provide shelter for many animals and insects and provide the necessary nutrition for fauna in all seasons.

The plants are often ground cover and prevent the soil from drying out. Which is useful in the current extremes in weather. The ground cover has even more advantages. Because the soil is covered with plants, weed growth will be reduced to almost zero.

Maintenance in the garden will become much more extensive and the appearance of the plants more natural. A nice bonus is that there are many types of wintergreen!

In autumn, leaves no longer have to be raked off, but rather brought to the border. The plants like a lot of organic matter and this will also revive soil life. All plus points for recycling in your own garden.

If you are interested in this planting, please contact us for a consultation.
