Welcome to the website of Guido Van de Steen's nursery garden of perennials.

What first started as a passionate hobby in 1978, soon grew into a nursery garden with a size of 5 hectare. The nursery is located in Massemen, a formerly independent municipality in Wetteren, East-Flanders.

With great attention for the beauty of leaves, their shape, their inflorescence and subtle colours, Guido always knows how to add the most special plants to his assortment. It is therefore not surprising that the nursery has blossomed into being of the trendsetters of modern gardening.

QUALITY :
We cultivate high-quality perennials. Our conservatories in which our plants hibernate guarantee the quality of the more delicate kind of plants, which enables us to offer an optimal plant in springtime as well. The superb quality of the plants is beyond any doubt and is highly appreciated by professional gardeners as well as nurserymen from home and abroad and public administrations. Private gardeners who are looking for novelties and unusual varieties are welcome at our nursery every Saturday from 8 am to 12 pm and from 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm.

ASSORTIMENT :
Guido Van de Steen offers a wide range of more than 3.500 different types of perennials, fancy grasses, bamboos, ferns, herbs, water and marsh plants.
Moreover, we have an exceptional offer of new shade plants, among which are hundreds of different Hosta plants.

The mere part of the plants need to be divided or cut so that the typical characteristics of the plant will unabatedly be passed on to the offspring. Other plants are sown. Of every type of plant and every variety, the nursery garden has parent plants that grow free of viruses in the best conditions. These are the plants that deliver seeds and cuttings.

In order to offer this wide range of different plants, you do not only need to be familiar with all the different reproducing techniques, but you also need to sense which plants will be fashionable in the future and in the meanwhile be stubborn enough to keep those plants that have a low demand in your assortment.
