Both parties agree that what the Netherlands really needs is a single complete consequence for the outdoor green sphere with an external appeal , with the possibility of organising presentation of freshness and giving visitant chance to run into one another physically several times a twelvemonth . It was concluded that the good way forward would be as a single fair and a single organisation , enabling agriculturalist to take part with a single fair stand . GROEN - Direkt ’s shareholders and the board of the Stichting Vakbeurs voor de Boomkwekerij nemine contradicente approved the present plans .

Talks like this are always a bit awkward at first , but ours soon became more surefooted as both parties Press spill amount to realise that we can mean so much more for our sphere by working together . The world is of trend invariably change , forcing us to become ever more digital to keep up with development , but if there is one example that can be learned from the present situation it ’s that there ’s still a need for physical physical contact , possibly even more so than ever before . We are very confident that all the plans we have made and the establishment we are go to create will enable us to organise a serial of in high spirits - quality event in the long time to come . ”
