NL Plants has a vision in which sustainability plays an important role. NL Plants and Lodders Boomkwekerijen BV are therefore a forerunner in the field of sustainable production. It is not without reason that Lodders Boomkwekerijen was the first tree nursery with cultivation in the open ground to obtain the MPS Florimark Production Certificate. Our cultivation method is assessed annually by MPS Sustainable Quality. As a trading company, NL Plants is also in possession of the MPS certificate of sustainability.
Since we are growers in heart and soul, we do understand the importance of plants when it comes to our earth.
The fact that plants contribute to our well-being and a better living environment becomes increasingly more clear to the general public. For example turning CO2 into oxygen (photosynthesis) and filtering the air by binding particulates.
We take care of the environment. Sustainable and environmental friendly growing is only possible if this is done in harmony with the environment. Our sustainable growth starts by taking care of a good soil structure. Prior to the start of every growth, a structure improvement is being applied.
The soil life is being activated by adding compost tea and useful soil-dwelling organisms. We work towards creating a natural balance in the soil, which means that diseases and plagues hardly get a chance.
From experience, we know that our sustainable and environmentally friendly growth methods result in:
The concern for a cleaner environment does not leave an industry as closely linked to nature as tree nursery untouched. Since the early 1990s, we have been actively involved in various environmentally conscious and sustainable techniques. This includes weed control, tillage and fertilization. Thanks to the extensive experience we have gained in this respect, we are a leading company in the field of environmentally conscious cultivation. See below an old folder about environmentally conscious tree cultivation.
