About Us

Leefwereldverbeteraars

We are M. van den Oever Tree Nursery

We listen to and observe people in their living environments and apply our centuries-old, down-to-earth knowledge of trees, shrubs, and plants to improve those environments. We believe that a green living environment is a better world. Safer. Healthier. More beautiful. More sustainable. In every season. Our goal is to make people happier by improving their living environment. That’s why we call ourselves Leefwereldverbeteraars—a new word that brings together the values of the past and the present.

Seven generations of growers

The M. van den Oever Tree Nursery has its roots in a traditional farming operation that was established in Haaren in 1791. Over the centuries, the nursery grew steadily. Enthusiasm, craftsmanship, and a commitment to reliability, quality, and service form the foundation upon which every generation of nurserymen has continued to build. These principles remain of the utmost importance today.

True artisans

We know what we're talking about. With over two hundred years of experience, we're still innovating every day.

Hardworking tree growers

We're a true family-run business, where you can still just pop in the back for a good cup of coffee and some expert advice.

Down-to-earth to the core

An expert and reliable supplier of plants. With us, what you see is what you get. Because when it comes to plants, you either do it right or don't do it at all.

Social Responsibility

We borrow from the world rather than exploit it. Of course, we are here for both people and nature.

Greenport Central Brabant

The roots of M. van den Oever Tree Nursery have been in Haaren, the Garden of Brabant, for more than two centuries. Haaren has been designated a Greenport for tree nurseries. And for good reason: the greenery grown in its loamy sandy soil is internationally renowned for its vigorous growth and flowering. M. van den Oever’s land area spans no less than 140 hectares, enabling us to offer you a wide assortment of plants: avenue, street, and park trees; topiary trees; fruit trees; specimen shrubs and multi-stemmed trees; shrubs; roses; conifers, forest and hedge plants, and perennials.

Corporate Social Responsibility

We strive for a sustainable future in every respect by finding the right balance among our four Ps:

People

A fair social policy, for our employees and the people in our community.

Profit

A healthy financial situation that provides a stable foundation.

Planet

We take the greatest possible care to protect the environment and our world.

We want to make living and working together enjoyable.
