Our team

A team of industry professionals is actively organising the fair PLANTARIUM|GROEN-Direkt. We would like to introduce them to you. In addition to the exhibition team, several employees of Greenform, Blunt Communicatieadvies and GROEN-Direkt make an important contribution to the organisation of PLANTARIUM|GROEN-Direkt.

Linda Hoogendoorn-Veelenturf

Fair director

As director, Linda Hoogendoorn-Veelenturf is the link between the board of fair organisers, called Green Retail Events, and the fair team. “With the PLANTARIUM|GROEN-Direkt fair, we make the physical connection between growers and buyers, showing the products is incredibly important. In addition, buyers want to know who the grower behind the product is, how the product is grown and what the latest developments are. Joining in and visiting our green trade fair in which garden plants are the main focus is the perfect opportunity for this!
