The plants residency
Due to the attractive and wide range of the nursery, we have chosen to bring the plants from the Netherlands ourselves. The plants are currently in a beautiful attic with lots of light at Febe, Jesse’s sister. We are confident that they will make it through the journey well and, just like us, will settle down wonderfully in the Portuguese soil.
The knowing that these plants will enrich the soil, the plot and the future pleases us. We wanted to share this nice update with you!
