For that occasion, Ilse took the visitor for a tour inside VB's new office building covered by a greenhouse roof and asked Edward and Marco about the innovative techniques used and the choices made in the design and realization of their new home. They also discussed today's global trends, developments and challenges, as well as the possibilities VB offers for these challenges by using innovative techniques created with horticultural experience.

With this, we want to give something back to the environment.
