On August 13th. and 14th Tuingoed Foltz in Meeden organizes their annual exotics market.

On 17, 18 and 19 June you can find us in a booth during the International Nursery Days on the Bingerden estate in Bingerden.
The theme of this weekend is ‘Growing for the future’. With eucalyptus you plant a tree that can easily cope with the changing climate in the Netherlands. Eucalyptus is able to absorb water quickly during heavy rainfall and is also resistant to extreme drought in summer.
Moreover, because it is an evergreen tree, eucalyptus is able to store co2 all year round. Come and visit us, we will also offer many other plants in addition to eucalyptus. If you have a wish or an order, we will of course take it along. You can indicate this via Whattsapp (0641156392) or the contact form on the website
On 5 June, Whit Monday, you can find us at the exotics fair in St Oedenrode. Previously, this successful event always took place in Haps and we assume that it will also be a great day at the new location with a special offer for all plant lovers. At this fair you will find the gems of the (exotic) plant world and you will always meet an old acquaintance who shares the same passion. So come to St Oedenrode and be there on time!
I am regularly asked which eucalyptus species is suitable for indoor use. To be clear, I grow eucalyptus for a cold climate and it is a tree that can grow quite large. Now I see a lot of advice and advertising on the internet and in garden programs claiming that you could also keep eucalyptus indoors. This is also regularly mentioned on the plant label.
My personal opinion on this is that this is absolutely untrue as far as the species (often an “ordinary” gunnii) that are offered. These are sales pitches that ultimately end in disappointment for you as a customer. If you want to keep a eucalyptus indoors, you will eventually have to seek advice from a specialist about which species could possibly be suitable for this and take into account that such a plant requires attention to make this successful.
The first seedlings are already emerging. These seeds were stratified in the refrigerator in November and sown at the end of December. This process will repeat itself a number of times in the coming weeks and you can follow the progress of this in this blog or on Instagram. In the coming weeks, a lot will be transplanted, so that from mid-May well-rooted seedlings will be available again regularly. Until then from most species, plants from previous years are of course available.
