Ebben Tree Nursery announces a major change in its leadership. Dirk Ebben, who has played a key role in the company for 12 years, will take over as CEO / General manager from 21 June from Toon Ebben, who has decided to step back into an advisory role.
This transition coincides perfectly with the completion of the last spring pruning. Handing over the pruning shears from Toon to Dirk symbolises not only the completion of an important phase, but also the optimal preparation of the company for further growth and developments.

Climate change is bringing more and more heavy downpours along with the resulting floods. So it is very important to plant cities in a more climate-resistant way.

Eight out of ten children answer the question ‘what's your favourite way to play?’ with: ‘build a hut, climb or make a tree house’. So Ebben organised a tree climbing afternoon for primary school children on the last day of the school year: Up A Tree. After some handy tips on how to climb higher safely, the children clambered upwards like agile monkeys.

In the coming years, the trees will take root and grow thicker, so the bridge can be walked on by visitors of the International Horticultural Exhibition in 2022.

The rainbow eucalyptus might have the most beautiful bark of any tree. A person seeing it for the first time probably won’t believe that the colours are natural. It looks more like a class of nursery children have been at work with their brightest paints.

On 13 March 2018, the Belgian Public Space Information Point, the knowledge centre that advocates for higher quality public space, awarded the annual Public Space Prize to the city of Mechelen. A prize for good commissioning and pleasant, safe and sustainable public spaces, where the human dimension is central.

The dragon tree has traditionally been believed to have magical powers. Its appearance will undoubtedly have contributed to this: its thick trunk supports gnarled branches, which only bear prickly leaves at the ends. The crown forms a beautiful, characteristic symmetrical umbrella shape, a unique appearance among other trees.

On Saturday 18 and Saturday 25 March, 298 trees were planted at the Dutch MH17 National Monument for the victims of the aviation disaster over the Ukraine. The monument symbolises a green memorial ribbon rising out of the landscape. The memorial forest will open officially on 17 July 2017.

The sustainable, green business card of the corporate Netherlands - Traveling Ecodome - begins a journey around the world, starting from Amsterdam.

Its strange appearance makes the Baobab seem to be growing upside-down, with its roots in the air. According to the tradition of the San people, the tree was punished by the gods and thrown to earth from heaven, landing upside down and continuing to grow.

Ebben Nurseries has won the Horticulture Entrepreneur Prize 2016 for Future Proof Entrepreneurship. A wonderful confirmation that our innovative and sustainable company is recognised and valued.
