Our story<\/h2>\n

Discover our world of unusual plants<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Welcome to Richplant, where the journey through the world of plants begins. The owners of Richplant are Richard and Ellen Scheffers. We are passionate about growing exclusive flowering and green houseplants. Our greenhouse houses plants from all over the world, each with their unique beauty and characteristics. What makes our craft so special? Matching the specific climate needs of plants from various corners of the earth every day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A little history<\/h4>\n

Richard started growing potted plants in 1983 on an 8500 m\u00b2 farm on Poeldijksepad in Honselersdijk. In 1987, he concentrated there on growing the beautiful Gardenia Jasminoides. In mid-1989, the company expanded to include a site on Oostheullaan in Honselersdijk, where Spathiphyllum in particular was grown alongside various other plants. In 1998, both companies were sold, and we have since continued at our current 60,000 m2 location on the Grote Achterweg in Naaldwijk.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
