The Plantenasiel

Plantenasiel Haarlem was founded in early 2018 by two students who wanted to share their love for plants with the world. It is an initiative that rescues houseplants which cannot stay in their original home anymore, for example because they grew too big, are not thriving anymore, or the owner fell out of love with them.

Over the course of 2020, the Plantenasiel (literally translated: plant shelter) was handed over to a new team, which has since welcomed many more members and said goodbye to a few. We are situated at two different locations in Haarlem.

All donated plants will be cared for and kept at the location they were brought to until they find a new owner. All healthy plants are available for adoption during our opening hours. We ask adoptive plant parents for a voluntary (monetary) donation. Plantenasiel Haarlem is a non-profit organisation with a focus on sustainability and love for plants. Donations help us run our organisation and buy necessities such as potting soil, larger pots and fertiliser.

The team

Op dit moment bestaat ons team uit 6 enthousiaste plantenliefhebbers met verschillende achtergronden, leeftijden en nationaliteiten. Ben jij ook helemaal gek van kamerplanten en wil je hier meer mee doen? Stuur ons vrijblijvend een bericht om te kijken of het vrijwilligerswerk wat voor jou is! P.S. Je hoeft (nog) geen plantenexpert te zijn om bij ons mee te doen.
