Frequently asked questions
How can I adopt a plant?
During our opening hours, you can drop by to adopt houseplants and cuttings. We have an ever changing selection of plants available at our locations. De plant is kosteloos, maar aangezien wij zelf geld uitgeven voor potgrond, voeding etc., worden wij wel heel blij van een vrijwillige bijdrage.
What can I donate?
Obviously, you can donate houseplants. If your plant has grown too big, for example, if it's not doing well in your home, or if you simply don't love it anymore. You can also donate cuttings, pots and other plant-related things. Unfortunately, we cannot accept outdoor plants at the shelter.
Behalve kamerplanten en stekjes zijn ook plantgerelateerde attributen welkom. Denk hierbij aan potten, schaaltjes, mosstokken, plantentafeltjes of potgrond die je over hebt. Laat het ons vooral weten!
How do I donate a plant?
Als je een plant wil doneren aan het Plantenasiel Haarlem, dan kun je de plant in de meeste gevallen gewoon tijdens onze openingstijden langsbrengen. Twijfel je of je plant geschikt is voor het asiel? Stuur ons dan een persoonlijk bericht. Dit kan via e-mail, Instagram of Facebook. We willen graag wat dingen over je plant weten en het liefst ook een foto zien. Bij groen licht kun je de plant dan langsbrengen tijdens onze openingstijden.
What do you want to know when I donate a plant?
If you wish to donate a plant, we would like to know why you are getting rid of it so that we can consider that, if necessary, in caring for it. We would especially like to know whether the plant might be affected by pests so we can prevent other shelter plants from being infected. Is this the case with your plant? Please let us know. Then we will look for a solution together.
Are you open for collaborations?
We are very happy to collaborate! Would you like to organise an event with us or do you have other great ideas? Send us a message!
