Every plant is more beautiful in the right pot
But where did Nele's passion for green come from? It started long before it became such a hype! Every plant becomes (even) more beautiful in the right pot. Nele started with her own houseplants and was constantly looking for the best pots, the range in shops and garden centers did not really meet what she was looking for. Or you finally find that one pot and then you come home and it turns out that your plant doesn't fit in it, Nele was looking for 1 place where everything could be found together. Beautiful pots and plants! In the meantime, Nele also guides a course at syntra in which she teaches people to take care of their plants.
Throughout the 4 years as owner of this shop, she has seen a significant shift in interest and especially in the prices of plants. Despite the fact that prices (from the growers) are going up, Nele thinks it is very important to keep it accessible. She has a wide audience of both working people and students & she wants to keep prices accessible to everyone. Now and then there is sometimes a more special one, with a corresponding price tag. For example, last September she gave away no less than 10 monster variegata! So that even the people who couldn't buy this plant had a chance to win it (how cool is that ?!) The challenge is to find a great plant that is affordable! Nele is satisfied that people can come and buy a cute & affordable plant. The best thing about the whole job is that you have to enjoy it, she has done a number of other jobs for this & the golden key is having fun being there every day. People are happy when they go outside with a plant. Plants make people happy. More Little green stories?

AuthorCrazy plant lady who likes to inspire others! Everything I write here comes from my own experience, knowledge that I gained by reading books and on the internet. If I would literally copy someone's info, I would do my best to link it of course! Do you spot typos or do you have other concerns, let me know! Have fun reading! I've only just started writing English blogs since January 2021, that's why there are many Dutch blogs and not so many English ones.
