about us
two ghentian plant dads
What started as a crazy idea of two passionate Belgian plant dads, has become a reality:
the first full scale Belgian tropical nursery.
#plantdads
We are Bram and Jos, both residents of Gent and fiery plant parents. We have been collecting tropical house plants for years and our communal passion made us decide to team up to start Best Buds.
Bram has a degree in Biology and Jos graduated as a Bio Engineer. While Bram focuses on the plants in the nursery, Jos will focus on the development and research program to develop new plant hybrids.
Plan(t)s for the future
Best Buds is a Belgian startup specialising in the development, production and commercialisation of unique tropical house plants. Our production process and commercialisation focuses on sustainability in all its steps of the process. We strongly believe in the creative power of our imagination when it comes to developing a new generation of house plants.
Our technique is state-of-the-art and patented, allowing us to develop plants with new phenotypic expressions at a speed which is up to 5 times faster than classic breeding techniques. Moreover, the resulting plant will be 100% disease free, and very resilient.
We plan to launch a crowdfunding which will allow plant lovers to preorder a unique Best Buds tropical house plant whilst supporting our research to obtain exciting new, ecological and super unique plants!
