Spring Trials 2026 Recap – Thank You for Visiting
Last week, growers and young plant producers joined us for the Dutch Spring Trials – and what a week it was.
From Tuesday through to Friday, visitors explored what’s next for their programmes, stepping into the greenhouse to experience varieties that will shape the seasons ahead. The energy throughout the week made one thing clear: there is strong confidence in what’s coming next.
Sunshine, colour and strong first impressions
With sunshine throughout the week, visitors experienced the varieties at their very best – vibrant, healthy and full of potential. Walking the benches gave a clear view of how these genetics perform and how they can fit into future production plans.
Clear opportunities in the new introductions
The 2027 introductions clearly resonated. Growers engaged in thoughtful discussions, asked the right questions and were already identifying opportunities for their own businesses in the seasons ahead.
A setting designed for meaningful conversations
The combination of greenhouse and event tent created a welcoming space where visitors could explore, reflect and connect with the team. It allowed for open conversations, practical insights and focused guidance tailored to each visit.
A fresh approach to hospitality
A healthy, vegetable-forward lunch, by ChefStef, served in the event tent, supported the experience. It offered a balanced break during the visit. And for many, the cannolis from Mister Coffee were a highlight not to be missed.
What stood out most
- Strong engagement – visitors took the time to explore and ask in-depth questions
- Confidence in performance – the quality and uniformity in the greenhouse gave reassurance for future production
- A positive, forward-looking atmosphere – conversations were open, practical and focused on opportunities ahead
