An overview of Bokrijk Arboretum’s fern collection, its development over time, propagation methods in our on-site nursery, and examples of how these plants perform in the garden.
Sven is a gardener and collection specialist at Arboretum Bokrijk in Belgium, home to the largest Holly collection in Europe and notable collections of oaks, Magnolia, bamboo, Rhododendron, Cyclamen and of course ferns. The arboretum has a nursery on site, focusing on fern propagation.
Sven’s passion for plants began in childhood with collecting orchids and joining the local orchid society. Over time, his interests expanded to include exotic hardy plants, rare trees and shrubs, shade plants, and, of course, ferns… Sven’s private garden reflects his deep love for plants, featuring a diverse collection of bamboos, trees and shrubs, woodland plants, xerophytes and a spectacular green wall with mainly ferns and Gesneriads.
Hosted by Julian Reed, Alison Evans, Richie Steffen and Remko Beuving. Presented in partnership with the British Pteridological Society and the Dutch Fern Society.
