Rooting for green pioneers

We’re turning passion for plants into tomorrow’s green careers.

Project summary

Tree-O-Neers shows that working with plants is about much more than soil and shovels. It is about innovation, sustainability, international experience, and building greener cities for the future.

This European Erasmus+ project connects vocational schools and plant nursery companies to inspire young people, support teachers, and help companies become great learning environments. Tree-O-Neers opens the door to modern careers in the nursery sector and helps students discover where their talents can grow.

Learned Abroad,
Applied at Home

International experience does more than broaden horizons. It equips young growers with practical skills, fresh perspectives, and the confidence to bring new ideas back to their own businesses.

In this video, Rens van Pelt shares how studying in France and gaining work experience in Germany helped shape his career in tree nursery production. The techniques, knowledge, language skills, and independence he developed abroad continue to benefit the family business every day.
