After many years of work and testing, we succeeded in getting our new Yew patented. We celebrated that with a name ceremony at landscaping exhibition Have&Landskab 2013, where Palle Kristoffersen gave the plant its final trade name: Taxus baccata "Brande Select" 'TANY0109' (N) PBR. The test was done in close collaboration with Jørgen Gregersen and Brande Skovkirkegård.

2012
A new and more advanced cutter is being procured for production. This means that the plant is now cut all the way around, rather than just on top, giving a much more uniform and well-branched plant.

Carsten Sølund Kristensen is hired as a new sales consultant. He works with daily sales work, and visits our customers with our show truck.

Nygaards Planteskole decides to significantly expand the production of ground cover plants.

Nygaards Planteskole expands the production of plants with high impulse value. This is done to meet rising demand.

As the first nursery in Denmark, we invest in a Visser Spaceomat system that ensures a more rational handling of pots. This investment also leads to a halving in SINGLE REPEATING WORK in connection with placing pots on the container site, spacing and cutting plants.

Under glass/plastic: approx. 19,000 m²

2000
The hurricane in December 1999 has had major consequences for our production facilities, but already in the spring of 2000 a new greenhouse totalling 4,800 m² is ready for use. This allows for a further streamlining of production.

1999
On the 3rd of December Denmark is struck by the worst hurricane in recording. It ravages large parts of the nursery. Most of the tunnel houses are so destroyed that they cannot be reused. It is therefore decided to build a greenhouse.

1998
After several years of good cooperation with Prima Plant, Nygaards Planteskole chooses to stand on its own. Our product range has been considerably expanded, and the desire for closer contact with the garden centres is one of the main reasons for the change. Erik Lauridsen is hired as a sales consultant.

1997
The space in the old expedition hall becomes too small. A 1,000 m² dispatch and storage hall is built, complete with loading ramps and associated office facilities.

1996
The first root ball production is initiated. Production is mainly concentrated on larger plants with Laurel, Boxwood and Mahonia as the main products. Over the next 7 years, the area will be expanded to approx. 10 ha.

The space for container production is greatly expanded by 32,500 m2 and the first large irrigation booms are procured. The basic framework for large-scale production is now laid.

Bente Juul Jensen resigns from Plantedirektoratet, plant health checks under the Danish Ministry of Agriculture, and is employed full time in the nursery.

The company's first computer system is put into operation. 2 PCs, model 386 SX 25 Mhz with 4 Mb Ram + printer etc. Total price: approx. DKK 80,000 has since been replaced. Additional tunnel houses are built in the same year.

1984
Nygaards Planteskole is founded. The nursery is established on a former agricultural property. The first tunnel houses are erected and the first production is started. Plants are mainly produced for further culture.
