De Warande is a small, family run business. We’re specialised in stinzenplants, shade-loving plants, bulbs for naturalising and a number of other flower bulbs. We’ve been experimenting with these plants in
our woodland garden in Laag-Keppel, the Netherlands, since 1986. And we’ve also designed and planted a large number of gardens using these plants. All in all we’ve built up a lot of experience over the years… and we’d like to share this experience with you!
At De Warande we’re continually experimenting with flower bulbs and we’re often surprised by their beauty! Such as here, Tulipa clusiana 'Stellata', planted in 2013 on the river sand dune. The De Warande team… Trudi Woerdeman en Willem Overmars set up and created De Warande. Since 2011 Toto G. Lee en Jan willem Overmars (Trudi and Willem’s son) have taken on the care and maintenance of the garden at De Warande, also continuing in the tradition of experimenting with new species and cultivars. Jan willem en Toto also run the webshop. The
garden designs for clients are all made by Trudi Woerdeman and then turned into reality by Jan willem en Toto.

Flower bulbs such as stinzenplants and bulbs for naturalising are planted around the forecourt of Kasteel Hackfort, an estate in the Netherlands. Design: Trudi Woerdeman. Client: Natuurmonumenten Everyone is welcome to buy plants and bulbs from us, large or small: from orders for the drives of country estates (where we can plant up to 50,000 flower bulbs – and yes, we do plant them all by hand to create a natural effect!), to an order via this webshop with a minimal value of €15,00. For us it’s not about the quantity, but about the joy of bulbs; working with them and delighting in the end result in the spring!
Different species of Tulips flower in the garden of Jaqcueline van der Kloet. We often go and visit other gardens and locations to keep on learning that little bit more: this photo was taken in the garden of Jaqcueline van der Kloet. Tulips again… we can’t get enough of them! And we discovered some species suitable for naturalising.
