A gift that keeps blooming A green gift leaves a lasting impression. Research by the Plants & Flowers Foundation Holland shows that flowers and plants add extra meaning to special moments and contribute to how memorable an occasion feels. More and more, a plant is seen as both a stylish and meaningful gift. With Green up your gift, Kolibri responds to this development and shows that giving green goes beyond the traditional idea of gifting. Through surprising presentations and gifting concepts, the plant takes on a new role — not just as a product, but as an experience.
First plant advent calendar A plant advent calendar may sound unexpected, but according to Kolibri, it perfectly matches the growing desire for small moments of happiness. A new Christmas tradition With the introduction of the first plant advent calendar, Kolibri transforms the idea of gifting into a new tradition. Seventeen days of green surprises, focused on relaxation, experience, and something beautiful that lasts — even long after the moment of giving. According to Aafje Nijman, this fits within a broader movement in which consumers increasingly choose meaningful gifts over fleeting consumption.

New interior style: Desert Summer brings warmth into your home
Trend 2026/2027 Soft sandy tones, terracotta, and spicy accents define next season’s interior trends. Under the name Desert Summer, the trend revolves around warmth, natural materials, and handcrafted shapes. Organic silhouettes, rich textures, and a colour palette where earthy tones are softened with lilac and matcha green stand out. The overall look feels sunny, relaxed, and lived-in — an interior trend that radiates calm without losing its character.
Behind the brand: where nature and design come together The inspiration behind Kolibri lies in the unique relationship between the hummingbird and the orchid — a harmony of beauty and balance. From this idea, a brand was created where plants, pots, and home accessories come together as one complete concept. With collections that respond to both trends and wellbeing, Kolibri aims to offer more than just decoration: a touch of nature as part of the feeling of home.

Three questions for the growing team We asked Leon three questions about cultivation and growing. 1. How long does an orchid grow before it reaches the store? At our nursery, this process takes around a year. Every growth stage, from young plant to blooming orchid, requires patience, care, timing, and craftsmanship. 2. What innovations make modern cultivation more sustainable? Think of smart water usage, biological crop protection, and the reuse of heat and energy. Innovation is often found in the small details of everyday operations. 3. What hidden surprises are behind an orchid that may seem so ordinary? Behind a single orchid lies a world of breeding, craftsmanship, and precision. From unique flower shapes to hundreds of varieties, no plant is ever the same.

“My last Kolibri Orchids bloomed for half a year!”
“Part of my success is thanks to your plants and your pots.”
I’ve been buying orchids from Kolibri for years, and I truly notice that the quality is much better than other orchids. The plants are full of flowers, and my last orchids bloomed for more than half a year!
You are my favorite supplier from Holland!
The Kolibri collection is unique. We have good contact with each other and communicate openly and honestly. That feels very nice.

Green gifts Research by the Plants & Flowers Foundation Holland shows that flowers and plants are remembered more often than many other gifts. Because they remain visible in the home, they stay connected to the moment they were given. Greenery therefore becomes more than just a gift, it turns into a lasting memory. To complete that gifting moment on the shop floor, complementary gift items are playing an increasingly important role within the display. That is why Kolibri developed a luxury gift box and gift bag, allowing a plant to be ready to give instantly. These stylish packaging solutions function as smart add-ons within the garden centre table or display, enhancing not only the gifting moment but also the overall store presentation. They also offer space for a personal message, making every gift feel even more special.
Over 700 retail displays across Europe

5 tips for finding calm during a busy day A day can sometimes feel overwhelming, with work, sports, household tasks, and social events. That is why creating a moment of calm, no matter how small, is so important. Julia shares 5 tips for creating a moment of calm: 1. Involve green – Surround yourself with nature every day, for example by taking a short walk or adding plants to your surroundings. This can help reduce stress and create a sense of calm and positivity. 2. Take a breathing break – Take a few minutes to breathe deeply and clear your mind. 3. Create a cosy corner – Create a space at home where you can retreat for a moment, with greenery and soft materials around you. 4. Offline moment – Put your phone away and mindfully enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. 5. Small moment of indulgence – Treat yourself to something small, a beautiful book, music, or a fresh new plant. 6
