Tradition meets sustainability

About Gartenbau Silber

Gartenbau Silber looks back on a long history in the green industry. The company was founded over 100 years ago by Gottlieb Elfers, and today it is managed by Anke Bechtold and Inid Schiller in the fourth generation. A partnership-based cooperation and communication with customers and employees is particularly important to them. Silber produces around 29 million young plants and around 500,000 finished plants at two locations each year. In the Ottersberg branch, which was founded in 1969, heather young plants are planted and cultivated all year round on about eleven hectares of operational area from October to April. The Eckstever branch was added in 1983 with 10,000 m², where mainly the young plants are cultivated, which are pricked out from May and flowering plants are the focus in summer.

Gartenbau Silber focuses on well-organised processes with modern technology. Tools such as a pricking out machine and a recently expanded sowing line are in use. Sustainable production is a priority for the young plant producer. Since 2022, the Eckstever branch has been equipped with a photovoltaic system for autonomous power supply. In the area of plant protection, beneficial organisms are mostly used with success for biological pest control. Sustainability is also a major focus for Silber beyond their own production, with the compensatory area consisting of wet and fruit meadows and a small mixed forest directly connected to the operational area in Ottersberg.

Company video

Gartenbau Silber primarily cultivates young plants for the Gardengirls producers. The operation carries the full Gardengirls range, including combination mixes. As a test operation, newly bred varieties are tested here in advance, so that these assessment results can be incorporated into the decision-making process for market launch. In addition to the entire Gardengirls range of Callunas, Erica carnea and darleyensis are also included. Many other plant varieties such as Gaultheria procumbens, Boronia anemonifolia, Hypericum inodorum as well as other companion and structural plants for Silber's customers, including nurseries, are also part of the selection.
