Den Mulder Nurseries is a family business with strong Dutch roots. Founded in 1985 by Henk den Mulder, the company started with young plants and steadily grew into a modern nursery. Nearly 40 years later, it has developed into one of the most versatile tree nurseries in Europe, with more than 240 hectares under cultivation and a reputation for quality, service and reliability. What began as a local grower has become a trusted partner for green projects of every size, at home and abroad.

 

Scale with diversity and value

2,000+ varieties grown in-house – breadth, consistency and competitive pricing. Today, Den Mulder Nurseries cultivates over 2,000 species in its own fields. The range includes avenue trees, park trees, large hedging plants and specimen trees and shrubs – from young whips to mature specimens ready to shape streets, parks and landscapes. Combined with an online catalogue that lists nearly 9,000 varieties, Den Mulder offers one of the broadest assortments in the market.

This scale brings more than choice. It also means continuity, efficiency and competitive pricing. Clients know they can source both standard species and more specialised selections in one place, without compromising on quality. Each tree is grown with care but also deliberately “hardened off”: Den Mulder’s cultivation method avoids over-pampering, ensuring stronger plants with active root systems that are ready to thrive in their new environment.

 

The Dutch Connection

1,000 growers, one partner – Den Mulder, The Dutch Connection. Even with 240 hectares and 2,000+ in-house varieties, no single nursery can grow everything. That is why Den Mulder has built a network of around 1,000 specialised growers across the Netherlands and Belgium. Through this network, the company can meet virtually any demand – whether it is a unique specimen for a private garden, or thousands of uniform trees for a city project.

This makes Den Mulder more than a grower. It is a connector. With one point of contact, clients gain access to an unrivalled network, backed by clear logistics and reliable delivery. Some customers prefer Den Mulder to handle everything – from sourcing and quality control to transport and aftercare – while others make use of the nursery’s expertise and then manage part of the process themselves. In both cases, the value is the same: broad access, consistent quality and trusted service.

 

Knowledge and expertise

Decades of expertise – guiding you to the right tree, every time. Behind the nursery is a close-knit team of specialists, each with their own area of expertise. They know the trees because they work with them every day, from planting to lifting to delivery. That knowledge flows directly to the customer.

Advice is always available, whether it concerns species selection, site conditions or long-term maintenance. Some clients need a sparring partner to fine-tune their planting plan, while others simply want to know the best option for a specific site. In both cases, Den Mulder’s experience ensures better choices and healthier, longer-lasting plantings.

The nursery also embraces the challenges of today’s landscape sector. Biodiversity and climate resilience are central to the future of green projects, and Den Mulder’s wide assortment makes it possible to design planting schemes that are both diverse and sustainable. With resilient cultivation methods and a broad range of climate trees, the company supports projects that prepare cities and landscapes for the future.

 

Why FutureScape?

It is no coincidence that Den Mulder Nurseries is presenting itself at FutureScape. The nursery sits in the middle of Europe’s tree-growing heartland, strategically located between the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. From this position, it serves customers across Europe and now looks to strengthen its role in the UK.

For Den Mulder, FutureScape is the perfect stage to show what Dutch growers can deliver: scale, efficiency, diversity and expertise. Although the nursery is still relatively young compared to some long-established names, it has already built strong ties with UK partners. At the same time, many landscapers, designers and developers are not yet familiar with the company. FutureScape offers the chance to change that – to meet face to face, to share knowledge, and to start building lasting partnerships.

 

A reliable partner for every project

Den Mulder Nurseries combines the strength of a large-scale grower with the flexibility of a service-oriented partner. With over 2,000 in-house varieties, access to 1,000 growers, and decades of expertise, the company is uniquely positioned to supply the right tree for every project. From city gardens to public parks and from housing developments to major landscapes, Den Mulder delivers trees that are strong, healthy and ready to grow in British soil.

Because in the end, the mission is simple: always the right tree, in the right place.
