A look behind the scenes; how your Growing Concepts are made
Today we give you a look behind the scenes. Because hey, admit it, it's always fun to see how someone else does things. We also want to be honest and transparent about how our products are developed and produced.
What materials do we use? Where do we produce? And what kind of people work on Growing Concepts? You will find out all about it in this blog!
The terrariums
As many of you probably know, we started our Growing Concepts adventure by selling terrariums . And still this is our best selling product. So let's start with this!
We believe it is important to produce as much as possible close to home. This way, our products do not have to travel all over the world, which is better for our CO2 footprint and also better for the environment. This is why we choose to get all the glassware we use from Europe. For the plants, we work together with the best growers from the Netherlands and Denmark with an MPS certification. This is a quality mark in the field of sustainability.
But of course we are not there yet, because how do all the separate parts of your DIY terrarium come together? For this we work together with various local parties.
One party of this is a social workshop. Here people with a distance to the labor market work who with much love pack the right amount of soil, moss and stones that are needed for the terrarium. By working together with this organization we not only contribute to nature but also to society!
The wall decoration
If you have ever taken a look at our website, you know that in addition to terrariums, we are also selling more and more wall decorations. From complete modular moss walls to wooden wall panels . A boring wall in your home can be transformed into a real eye-catcher in one go. And with the modular moss wall, you can make your botanical wall statement as big as you want!
For all woodwork we work together with a neighboring company from Haarlem. They are specialists in laser cutting and know exactly where to get the most beautiful wood. The woodwork we use is MDF combined with ecologically responsible oak or walnut.
And the moss we use for our moss walls? This is glued to all panels by the same social workshop we briefly mentioned above. As you can imagine, they play a major role in our company!
And how does it get to your home?
We have recently started working with a great partner who sends all packages for us. This has created many more possibilities. For example, you can choose your own (green) carrier and your Growing Concepts can now reach you even faster! A new carrier we are working with is Budbee. Budbee has a sustainable mindset just like us and tries to contribute to a cleaner planet. Think of investing in cargo bikes, electric vehicles or building fossil-free gas stations and green distribution centers. This makes us happy and we hope you do too!
