荷兰盆景广场 Bonsai Plaza – 欧洲户外盆景专营苗圃与平台

苗圃历史与创始人

盆景广场由 Maarten van der Hoeven 于 1997 年在荷兰南荷兰省 Boskoop 苗圃区创立，店址仍留在 Boskoop 苗圃区核心地块。创始人少年时在荷兰盆景家 Ernst Mollet 处接受启蒙，后来带着浓郁的求知欲去日本，住进东京附近的大盘園（Taishoen）盆栽园，长期跟随师 Nobuichi Urushibata 学艺；还先后接受过日本多位盆景名师的指导。学成归欧后，他想把正宗日式户外盆景的系统完整引介给欧洲爱好者，于是搭建起一个兼具实体苗圃与线上 webshop 的平台。

实体苗圃与线上平台

苗圃本体落在南荷兰省 Boskoop 苗圃区，平日 09:00-17:00 开门，周二、周三以预约方式接待，周五至周日闭店休息。线上的 webshop 主营业务涵盖日本进口户外盆景树、手工盆器、培养土、专业工具、铜丝、铝丝、醱料、书籍，以及配套的 Presentatie 摆件与水石赏石几大类，发货覆盖欧洲主要国家。客户既包括个人爱好者，也有欧洲范围内的批发与零售商家。

产品体系与分类

树木品系涵盖针叶（Juniper、Pinus、Taxus 等）、观花落叶（Azalea、Prunus、Potentilla 等）、非花落叶（Acer、Carpinus、Ulmacea 等）、果树类（Chaenomeles、Pyracantha、Malus、Pourthiaea 等）以及庭院大树类，并按 Mame、Shohin、Chuhin、Kifu Sho 与 Dai 五档尺寸划分，方便从入门到资深阶段选购。盆器以日本手工盆为核心，从常滑烧、的的烧，到的窑、的的、Kosen、Reihou、Heian 等名家独立门户均涵括其中，按同样尺寸 5 档分类上架。配材一站配齐——Akadama、Kanuma、Kiryu、Keto、Pumice、Lava rock、Suiseki sand 7 大土壤材质，加上铜铝丝、Pincer、剪刀、铜丝、醱料等耗材。

课程与展览

进阶班（Advanced Bonsai Course）由资深教练 Edwin Koppers 领衔，他是约三十年的盆景人，曾在 Marco Invernizzi、Teunis-Jan Klein、Marc Noelanders、Carlos van der Vaart 等名家处学艺，每期最多 6 人，逢周三晚 7:30-10:00 在 Boskoop 现场授课。年度展览方面，2026 年 5 月 30-31 日的 Azalea Weekend 仍照例向公众开放；同年 2 月 8-18 日的第 100 届 Kokufu-ten（日本东京上野美术馆）中，Bonsai Plaza 有一棵树入选；同一时期，平台也参加 Genk（比利时）举行的 The Trophy 展会。

团队、收购与馆藏

合伙人 Jacqueline van der Hoeven 长期参与经营；核心成员 Bob van Ruitenbeek 同样从学于 Nobuichi Urushibata，并曾任 Bonsai Association Midden Nederland 主席、后任全荷盆景协会主席。2025 年 6 月 20 日，Bonsai Plaza B.V. 与 Deshima Bonsai 达成协议，正式接管后者全部盆景、盆器与库存，这既让去年 5 月不幸离世的 Teunis Jan Klein 的馆藏得到专业人员长期保管，也进一步充实了平台的日本人文厚度与藏品谱系。

Nursery History and Founder

Bonsai Plaza was founded in 1997 by Maarten van der Hoeven in Boskoop, a nursery town in South Holland, the Netherlands; the site has remained in the Boskoop nursery district ever since. As a teenager, Maarten received his first instruction from the Dutch bonsai teacher Ernst Mollet. He later travelled to Japan and spent long stretches at Taishoen Bonsai Garden near Tokyo, where he apprenticed under Oyakata Nobuichi Urushibata and worked with several other Japanese masters. After returning to Europe, he set out to build a platform that would bring the full spectrum of authentic Japanese outdoor bonsai and their care to European collectors, combining a working nursery with a dedicated webshop.

Physical Nursery and Webshop

The nursery itself sits in the Boskoop nursery district in South Holland. It is open from 09:00 to 17:00 on most weekdays, runs by appointment on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and is closed on Fridays through Sundays. The companion webshop carries imported Japanese outdoor bonsai, handmade pots, soils, professional tools, copper and aluminium wire, fertilizers, books and presentation accessories, with shipping covering most of Europe. Customers include individual enthusiasts as well as retail and wholesale partners across the continent.

Product Catalogue

Trees span conifers (Juniper, Pinus, Taxus etc.), flowering deciduous species (Azalea, Prunus, Potentilla), non-flowering deciduous trees (Acer, Carpinus, Ulmacea), fruit-bearing deciduous bonsai (Chaenomeles, Pyracantha, Malus, Pourthiaea) and garden trees, sorted into five height classes: Mame, Shohin, Chuhin, Kifu Sho and Dai. Pots focus on Japanese handmade work, including studios and kilns such as Yozan, Hattori, Kosen, Reihou, Heian and others, again in five size classes. Soils cover seven media: Akadama, Kanuma, Kiryu, Keto, Pumice, Lava rock and Suiseki sand, complemented by copper and aluminium wire, pliers, scissors, copper wire, fertilizers and wound care.

Courses and Exhibitions

The Advanced Bonsai Course is led by instructor Edwin Koppers, who has been active in bonsai for about thirty years and trained with Marco Invernizzi, Teunis-Jan Klein, Marc Noelanders and Carlos van der Vaart. Classes run on Wednesday evenings from 19:30 to 22:00 at the Boskoop nursery, with a maximum of six participants. The 2026 calendar opens with the Azalea Weekend on 30-31 May, when Boskoop welcomes visitors during the satsuki bloom. One Bonsai Plaza tree has been selected for the 100th Kokufu-ten in Tokyo in February 2026, and the platform also takes part in The Trophy in Genk, Belgium, during the same period.

Team, Acquisition and Holdings

Jacqueline van der Hoeven co-runs the business. Long-time collaborator Bob van Ruitenbeek, who also studied under Nobuichi Urushibata in Japan, has served as chair of the Bonsai Association Midden Nederland and later of the Dutch Bonsai Association. On 20 June 2025, Bonsai Plaza B.V. reached an agreement with Deshima Bonsai to take over that nursery’s entire collection, pots and inventory, after the passing of Deshima’s founder Teunis Jan Klein. The transfer places the late master’s trees, pots and tools in experienced hands and adds meaningful depth to the platform’s Japanese holdings.
