Nico Rijnbeek of Rijnbeek and Son.
According to Rijnbeek and Mike Howden of Macore, another exhibitor, the foot traffic seems to be higher than last year. "The weather is soft, no frost or snow, so many visitors come to the show", says Nico.

The MANTS is one of the largest exhibitions in the USA, with nurseries and exhibitors from all over the USA. "And this year, there are also a lot of bulb exporters at the show", Rijnbeek says.
To give us an impression of the show, Howden and Rijnbeek were so kind to send us some pictures:

Alice Doyle of SuperNaturals. "They are on the leading edge here in the States with the grafted veggie/edibles. Supernaturals and Plug Connection have worked a lot in the past with European sources to develop some of their work too. They've developed a lot of new, high performing products that have great flavor and nutritional characteristics. This is still a growing niche' here in the States", says Howden.(Photo taken by Mike Howden)
