Young plants
How long do people keep buying plants?
Two gardeners meet at the end of May. One says: ‘The year’s over; now we can finally focus on production – and we’ll hardly have any more trouble with customers.’ The other gardener counters: ‘No, it’s only just beginning.

Arctic raspberries have been enriching our fruit-bearing range since 2025. However, this is not only about the fruit; the Arctic raspberry, or Rubus arcticus as it is known botanically, has other benefits as well. Over the years, the low-growing plants form a low carpet and the pink flowers radiate from afar.

Read moreSell more and, above all, sell smarter in the face of buying reluctance and price sensitivity
In view of the darkening economy, consumers are becoming more price-sensitive. They tend to think twice about whether they really need something or can do without it.
