“We’ll be there the next time”<br />

Soil is not just soil. That’s<br />

the talk I want with<br />

people.<br />

of them 45 years or older – but<br />

there’s been a lot of young people<br />

as well.”<br />

“I don’t think I have ever been<br />

at a garden show with so many<br />

people at the same time who are<br />

so interested in gardening. There’s<br />

been a lot of visitors, the location is<br />

good and the facilities at the show<br />

are very good. This means that I’ve<br />

met a lot of happy people – most<br />

“It’s been wonderful to meet a lot of<br />

people interested in gardening. It’s<br />

very easy to establish a contact with<br />

people because they’re interested in<br />

the things you present at the exhibition.<br />

At other exhibitions, there are<br />

often things like arts and crafts, wine<br />

etc., so a lot of people just walk by<br />

your stand. At <strong>Cph</strong> Garden, you get<br />

What’s in it for you as a company?<br />

“We get the opportunity to tell<br />

about our products, what we can<br />

do and tell our story. To me it’s<br />

important to look people in the eye<br />

and talk to them. A lot of people<br />

don’t know that there are many<br />

kinds of soil, and they don’t know<br />

either, that plants need a good<br />

“lunchbox”. Soil is not just soil.<br />

That’s the talk I want with people.”<br />

Søren Goul, Managing Director<br />

at Champost. Champost was the<br />

partner at an inspirational garden<br />

presented together with TagTomat.<br />

We will be there the<br />

next time.<br />

the experience that everybody wants<br />

to have a look.”<br />

What’s in it for you as a company?<br />

“We get the opportunity to show what<br />

we can do: at our nursery, we produce<br />

our own plants, and we employ a lot<br />

of trained gardeners, so we’re able to<br />

help our customers. We are also very<br />

satisfied with our sales here. It’s hard<br />

to predict how many plants people<br />

want, but if you take a look around the<br />

exhibition, it looks like the visitors are<br />

keen to buy. I can only say, that we’ll<br />

be there at the next <strong>Cph</strong> Garden.”<br />

Hans-Jørgen Køppen, joint owner at<br />

the garden centre Thymes Planteskole.<br />

Thymes Planteskole had a big stand at<br />

<strong>Cph</strong> Garden 2017.<br />

You can feel the interest<br />

the minute you meet the<br />

visitors.<br />

“It’s been fantastic being here.<br />

The visitors are 100 per cent<br />

interested in gardening, so there’s<br />

a match between them and<br />

the exhibited items. To us it’s<br />

a unique opportunity to reach<br />

our target group, and you can<br />

feel the interest the minute you<br />

meet the visitors. They obviously<br />

think it’s a great event.”<br />

What’s in it for you as a company?<br />

“We’ve made a lot of new<br />

contacts, and we’ve talked<br />

with many of the other exhibitors.<br />

Danish television stations<br />

covering <strong>Cph</strong> Garden have<br />

been here, and this has given us<br />

good coverage during our time<br />

here”<br />

Katrine Koustrup Søborg, joint<br />

owner of the publishing firm<br />

Koustrup & Co. Koustrup & Co.<br />

had a stand and many of their<br />

authors participated in our<br />

workshops.<br />
