The remaining visitors included suppliers of technical equipment, journalists and media partners.

Perry van der Haak from P vd Haak Handelskwekerij hosting the FlowerTrials® at his location in Westland for the first time states: “Our first participation to the FlowerTrials® exceeded my expectations. Particularly, the number and quality of visitors was very high. Growers, buyers and suppliers showed genuine interest in my assortment, leading without any doubt to new business opportunities.  Furthermore, I was pleasantly surprised by the perfect organisation and support we received from the Organisation. I am glad to have become a member of the FlowerTrials® and will definitely participate again in 2016.”
