“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 />
