Amsterdam kick starts its 2009 International Horti Fair

Every year, Amsterdam hosts its Horti Fair which is also known as the world’s biggest gardening trade show. This year the fair will have special focus on sustainability and will be divided into different areas covering themes such as quality, technology, software, and sustainability practices and products. Prizes will be handed out to those displaying innovation and quality among the various products.

This fair, probably the most complete of horticultural trade shows, will run from October 13th to 16th. The fair is unique in the sense that it has about hundreds of innovations by more than 900 participants from around fifty countries providing an up-to-the-minute view of the horticulture of the future.

For those unable to attend in person but still curious as to how the event unfolds, Hortifair’s twitter channel has been updated regularly in the run-up to Tuesday’s opening and has recently started posting pictures and videos about the show and how things are developing.

The exact location of the fair is Amsterdam RAI Congrescentrum, Europaplein 22, 1078 GZ Amsterdam and the passes are priced at €40 / €80 4 day pass and trade visitors are allowed for free.
