As with many nurseries in Boskoop, in the initial years the garden was only accessible by boat. When plants had to be delivered, they were transported to the road by a small barge, after which they could be delivered to the customers by cargo cycle. From 1965, the cargo cycle was replaced by the first car.

A greenhouse of 400 m² was built to grow rhododendron cuttings.  The comfortable temperature made it much more pleasant for the plants to grow.

Plants used to be grown in terra cotta plant containers, but a change was made by introducing the plastic container. The plastic containers replaced the heavy terra cotta growing pots.

After Leo's death, René took over the company at the age of 24. This resulted in the company's continued existence and further growth of the company was made possible.

At Insteek 86, a field is prepared for the construction of a new hall, connecting greenhouse and a plot of outside land.

Hard work is combined with fun at our company. Staff is thanked for their efforts in different ways, i.e. company outings, BBQs, and other activities. In 2005, these thanks were expressed in the first international company outing: a few days to Kos. This was followed by trips to Rhodes, Albufeira, and a planned trip to Finnish Lapland.

A separate public limited company (B.V.) was set up for the production of Christmas products: Van Lint X-Mas&More B.V. After a number of years of partnerships, the whole process from purchase, production to sale came under the management of Van Lint.

After having leased the location for some years, the site of the former Boskoop auction is acquired by Groen Direkt. Additionally, Van Lint takes full ownership of Hebe Center Holland after Han van Niekerk's retirement.

The renewed company structure will take effect with the progressive future plans and the arrival of the third generation of the Van Lint family. After the business activities have been rearranged, the Plants&More and X-Mas&More concepts will disappear and continue under the names of ‘Van Lint Plants’ and ‘Van Lint Productions’. This will make the distinction between the growing of plants and the production of green arrangements clearer. It will also help us to further develop our services.
