Our Love for Plants 

In a time when more people than ever live and work in cities, green has become increasingly important. We spend very little time outdoors, in nature. With our exclusive indoor plants and plant concepts, we bring nature indoors.

On over 12 hectares of tropical greenhouses, a natural symphony comes to life. Here, we nurture about forty different plant species, not only to create greenery but also to bring stories to life.

In our expansive greenhouses, we work every day to bring our shared vision to life: creating moments of peace and beauty that enrich lives. While numbers can describe the scale, our true passion lies in the art that lives in every root, stem, and leaf. Read more about our cultivation process here.

Direct from the Greenhouse 

Our plants find their way to you, where you embrace their freshness, along with the many benefits of the fact that they come directly from our own greenhouse. Plants straight from the greenhouse offer significant advantages for green enthusiasts.

First, they guarantee optimal freshness because they come directly from a controlled and protected environment. This careful cultivation results in healthy, strong plants that are more resistant to pests and diseases, leading to a longer lifespan and more enjoyment for you.

Moreover, plants directly from the grower have higher quality, with thicker leaves and a sturdier growth structure. The optimized growth conditions in greenhouses lead to less use of pesticides and fertilizers, which is beneficial for the environment.

At Intenz, we are more than just a botanical oasis; we embody the dedication of a family. Every plant that leaves our greenhouse carries not only the beauty of greenery but also an abundance of benefits for you. Whether it’s improved air quality, stress reduction, or increased productivity, our exclusive plant concepts add a sense of fulfillment to your lifestyle.

Our Mission for a Greener World 

With our brand Intenz, we contribute to a healthy, green lifestyle. We grow a large number of air-purifying plants, regularly update our assortment with new plant species, and are innovative when it comes to plant concepts. All of this is done in a sustainable, socially responsible way.

Plant Trends

Water-based plants, also known as hydroponics, are the latest trend in the plant world. These plant concepts are easy to care for: you can easily see if the plant needs water.

Sustainable 

Hydroponics is sustainable; the plants last longer because they continue to grow and develop in the water. If you want to try something different, or if you have a beautiful glass container where you want to place a water-based plant, it’s easy to make. Order a water cutting on our webshop.

VDE Plant is Diverse and Local 

At VDE Plant, we embrace diversity as our strength. In our VDE family, you'll find people from various nationalities, ensuring that we offer an inclusive working environment. Our doors are open not only for skilled hands but also for those who long for connection. We are proud of our people.

Our roots are firmly anchored in the local community, where we thrive together. By supporting local events close to our hearts – whether they involve the passions of our employees or the beating heart of our village – we celebrate the bonds that unite us. The Ronald Moerings Foundation, linked to the Netherlands Cancer Institute Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, receives our unconditional support, as we contribute to nurturing lives outside our green oasis.
