NL: Positive vibes at Decorum Spring Fair

The Decorum Spring Fair is one of the first in-person show since the start of the pandemic. Yesterday and today, Dutch growers of flowering plants of Decorum gather in the flowerbulb nursery HL Hogevorst in Noordwijk and are presenting their assortment for the coming (summer) months. Clients were invited to come and check out the products for time blocks of two hours. 

The atmosphere was excellent: no big crowds of course, a nice sunny day and the good sales so far resulted in positive vibes. Our colleagues of BPnieuws.nl visited the fair and gives a short impression below.
