The importance of trees and plants
Trees and plants in the urban environment, help combat heat, drought, waterlogging and poor air quality and enhance biodiversity.
Combatting heat, drought and waterlogging.
The power of trees is that they provide natural shade with their foliage, lowering the ambient temperature during hot summer periods and thus reducing the urban heat island effect. Trees and plants also absorb rainwater, decreasing the risk of waterlogging and reducing the chances of flood damage.
Enhancing biodiversity
Enhancing biodiversity. Trees and plants provide food and offer a habitat, protection and nesting opportunities for insects, birds and small mammals, thereby promoting biodiversity in urban areas .
Benefits in terms of health and social cohesion
Benefits in terms of health and social cohesion. Public greenery promotes physical activity, reduces stress, purifies the air, with a corresponding positive effect on people’s health. Moreover, green public spaces create meeting places, which strengthen social cohesion and contribute to a sense of well-being and connection within the community.

Container field
On our container field in Zundert, we grow a wide range of shrubs and roses. We have a closed system (recirculating) , so there is no emission to surface and groundwater.
Recirculation
Boot & Dart benefits from recirculation at their nursery by minimising water losses and reusing nutrients, resulting in a more efficient and sustainable growing process with lower operational costs. This provides a more stable environment for crops and reduces the risk of diseases and pests, improving quality and yield.
Organic cultivation
Boot & Dart aims to grow completely organic in the near future, responding to the growing demand for sustainably produced products.
