Bucking the trend

From exciting, unusual specimens to trolley deals of key lines, Europlants have got it in stock now and ready to go

Weather will affect trade in the coming year more then the credit crunch, says Europlants MD Renato Canale. And retailers will need to move fast to clinch sales, so the positive-thinking specimen wholesale nursery is stocking up big time ready for another stunning open day at their Hatfield headquarters on February 18 and 19. “We know we’re going against the trend, but that’s how much we believe in this trade,” says Renato. “It’s full steam ahead, whatever the television is telling us about the economy. We’re lifting this company to another level, and looking long term.”

There’s a real determination in this close-knit team to move ahead. From developing a new plants display area for customers that includes modern open-plan offices for day-to-day operations, to preparing exciting new lines for spring trade, the whole company is focussed on improving their already impressive service to customers.

Sales manager Mark Smith explains: “We’ve always worked very closely on relationships at Europlants, but we want to make even more people aware of exactly what we do.” Visitors to the open days can expect to enjoy the legendary hospitality of Europlants, a superb Italian buffet lunch and also see some key improvements to aid sales, including:


  • WINNERS EVERY TIME: Blocks of plants offered to buyers at special prices including Trachycarpus, Agapanthus, Bamboo and Ilex.


  • TOP-CLASS TROLLEY DEALS: Over 50 trolley deals of Key Lines that have a proven sales record for both plant buyers and retailers, including flame red Nandina domestica, Photinia ‘Red Robin’, and the wonderfully-scented Trachelospermum jasminoides.


  • SUPERB SPECIMENS: Inspirational specimen plants such as Japanese cloud trees, and Vannucci’s formal topiary in towering columns, spirals, pom-poms and pyramids.


  • TOP SELLERS: Firm favorites such as Dracaena indivisa (cordyline), Olea Europea and a broad range of Phormiums.


  • UNBEATABLE CHOICE: Europlants have 12 acres of specimen plants, trees and aromatics from across Europe and the UK to choose from.
