ANNE'S BASKET

• BASKETS
• BRAIDWORK

Anne's Mand brings original French wickerwork. The authentic models are originally from the 18th and 19th centuries and are still made today as utility baskets. Kristel Stevens, Françoise Dehalleux, Johanna Stuart and Bruno Vloeberghs are thus successfully continuing the work of Anne Hermans. In 2016, the exhibition: 'from plant to basket: willow in all its stages' was a great success.

APIFLORA

• NATIVE WILD PLANTS

Native plants are often attractive as a gestation or host plant for bees and other insects and therefore a necessary link in biodiversity. These plants often also have a lot to offer - edible, medicinal or simply useful. Designing a welcoming garden for bees and insects cannot be fully improvised! They must be given food and shelter and their needs must be monitored and available throughout the year. Apiflora nursery offers you all its knowledge and assistance.
