Our roots: Royal Lemkes has a green heart. Our vision: We believe in plants.

Our mission: In everything we do, we strive for the sustainable growth of our people, our relationships, our common business and the world we live in.

It means creating a better life, stronger businesses and a healthier, green world with plants. Find out more about our mission OUR VISION We believe in plants We probably don’t need to explain to you how important plants are. They absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and provide the oxygen we breathe. They filter the air and increase biodiversity. They are calming. And, not least of all, they are incredibly beautiful. Plants create a greener world, both literally and figuratively. We should not underestimate the significance of this: we have the Earth on loan from our children and grandchildren and future generations. But there is another reason why we believe in plants. For the large retailers we are proud to count among our customers, plants are an important way of setting themselves apart from the competition and increasing returns. OUR MISSION We strive for sustainable growth Of our people. We believe that people make the difference and are proud of our employee’s passion and expertise. We help them develop their skills and qualities. Of our relationships. We build long-term partnerships with customers and suppliers to achieve sustainable growth for them and for us. Of our business. We believe that as our people grow, our business naturally grows too. Of our world. We want to actively contribute to a greener and more equal world.

LEMKES START KWEKERIJ START OF OUR NURSERY In 1882, after finishing training as a horticulturist at Het Loo Palace, H.J. Lemkes founds his family nursery in Alphen aan den Rijn. Royal Lemkes Foundation Sharing is multiplying As we have the Earth on loan from future generations, we want to take care of it to the best of our ability. With that in mind, we launched the Royal Lemkes Foundation in 2017, a foundation dedicated to creating a more social and greener society. Our aim is to improve the living environment and working conditions at home and abroad. We do this by making our knowledge of agriculture and horticulture available free of charge and, for instance, by granting microcredits.
