Photo Report
Together with our colleagues of bpnieuws.nl we will visit the FlowerTrials 2016. We will try to visit all of the companies, but will probably not be able to manage it. Therefore, we invite you to send in some nice pictures of interesting encounters. Then, we can publish an extensive Photo Report to get a clear picture of the pot and bedding plant sector.
