Perhaps you pass by them daily or have heard someone talk about working in a greenhouse. The flowers and plants sold in your store are grown in greenhouses! But often, you don’t really know what goes on inside these greenhouses – and that’s a shame!
That’s why during Kom in de Kas (Come Into the Greenhouse), you have a unique opportunity to take a look inside various greenhouses across the Netherlands. These greenhouse growers (producers of vegetables, flowers, plants, and fruit) are eager to share what they’re proud of: the art of cultivating beautiful, fresh, tasty, healthy, and safe natural products that you enjoy daily and which shape your store’s assortment.
Stroll through the greenhouses during Kom in de Kas, admire the crops, and learn all about the greenhouse by directly asking growers your questions. It’s going to be a weekend to remember! You’ll likely talk about it for days, weeks, or even years afterward.
The global greenhouse industry is vast, but our small country is a world leader in efficiency. This doesn’t happen by chance—it involves a great deal of technology and innovation. And that’s exactly what Kom in de Kas is all about. If you think greenhouses are still run by growers trudging through mud in their boots, think again!
Discover for yourself just how sustainable greenhouses and the products grown in them really are, why Italians eat so many Dutch tomatoes, or what the Dutch Silicon Valley of greenhouse horticulture looks like from the inside. See up close how the flowers that travel all over the world are cultivated. Check out the participating growers on the Kom in de Kas website.
