Featured grower

Every month we highlight a grower of seasonal plants.

Kwekerij van Diepen

Van Diepen Nursery is a true family business with a rich history and a passion for plants. In 1988, Theo van Diepen started growing conifers in open ground. With dedication and craftsmanship, he laid the foundation for what has since grown into a modern and versatile nursery.

In 1998, we made the switch to pot-grown conifers. What started with a modest container field of about 0.5 hectares grew steadily in the years that followed. From 2009 onwards, we expanded step by step to the 3 hectares we use today.

In 2012, we started growing ornamental grasses – initially as a trial, but this has since grown into a fully-fledged and wide range in pot sizes P19, P26 and P40. We focus on sturdy, visually appealing plants that appeal directly to the market.

To complete our range, we added several types of perennials in 2015. Due to their success and market demand, this range has been further expanded in recent years. In 2019, we also added various types of Hebe in multiple pot sizes.

Innovation and quality are central to our working methods. In 2023, we started using a new lava field equipped with a modern ebb and flow system. This allows us to optimise our growing conditions and take the next step in the sustainable, efficient production of top-quality plants.

With a close-knit team, short lines of communication and a strong focus on both plants and people, we continue to build a future-proof nursery where quality and reliability are paramount.
