The stock of mother plants of many pond plants grows in the nursery as it would in nature.
|
Various types of underwater plants are extracted from the lake from a customised boat.
|
In prolonged cold conditions the underwater plants grow very slowly. In those cases we use divers.
|
The great majority of plants, however, such as these Primroses, are cultivated in special cultures.
|
Sowed plants grow protected under foil tunnels and are automatically irrigated and fertilised.
|
Later, many of the plants destined for humid areas stand on irrigation surfaces, such as these Ragged Robins.
|
The areas with perennials are underlaid with liner. This allows us to recycle the fertilised water.
|
Typical pond plants stand in shallow water basins. The nets protect against ducks.
|
Some underwater plants, like these Water Violets, are cultivated in a more stable above water form.
|
Der Versand der Pflanzen erfolgt in dem Gewächshaus.
|
Labels with important information are printed for each order.
|
At the same time the plants are requested from the cultivation grounds.
|
Underwater plants and Water Lilies meet in a darkened hall with a circulating water basin.
|
About 20 workers assemble the ordered plants and package them for transport.
|
The plants are sorted by location and packaged separately.
|
During the high season 20,000 plants leave the nursery. Over 90% reach their destinations within 20 hours.
|
Land perennials stand clearly arranged in open air areas next to the greenhouses.
|
In Spring perennials stand ready to hand on tables. Here visitors can serve themselves.
|
On the other side of the greenhouse are the quarters with the woody plants.
|
Additionally, there are special cultures of drought resistant plants which we supply for green roofs.
|
The plant cultures are automatically irrigated and fertilised through kilometres of pipes.
