Welcome!

Who does not dream of sun-drenched tropical resorts with white beaches, clear blue sea, swaying palm trees and colorful cocktails?
But well, all this is only for the globetrotters among us.
Or maybe not …?

Also in Northern Europe

What many do not know is that many palm species and other exotic species are also well maintained in our temperate climate. One species will require a little more care and attention than another, but it is definitely possible. Exotic gardening is therefore a fast growing trend with many enthusiastic hobbyists.


Our experience


Through my studies biology, experience in sowing and cultivating palms since 2000 and through the exchange of knowledge with other hobbyists, I have a lot of practical experience in growing, care and keeping palm trees. What started with one small location Phoenix roebelenii grew into a passion. In the meantime, the own collection counts many different species of palms, bananas and other exotic plants. Besides passionate enthusiast and owner of La Palmeraie, I also have been the administrator of the Dutch Palmfriends community for a long time.
