Gerhard König
The nursery was founded in 1890 by Gerhard König, the present possessors' great grandfather.

The production ran on a low level, interrupted each time by the World Wars, until the end of the 1970s when Heiner and Johann Folkerts took over the nursery. The foundation of the trading company took place in 1987.

In the beginning the production was done only in open ground, in 1982 switched to exclusive container production. From the original production of conifers and calluna the assortment has been constantly expanded by introducing new varieties and improving the quality to the present level.

From the very beginning propagation has been carried out in the nursery, which resulted in a basicly very healthy stock of plants and a large assortment.

Today we are producing on a coherent production area of 18 ha, our assortment consists of conifers, slowly growing special conifers with a highly decorative value, evergreens, heathers, dwarf type Rhododendron an as a specialty Ginkgo.

Our sales are aimed at the private consumer. In order to reach him we are supplying garden centers all over Europe.
