As a horticultural producer, Vegetal i.D. owns the largest French nursery (and one of the largest in Europe) specialising in growing plants specifically for green roofs; sedums, perennials and shrubs are grown throughout the year. After almost 20 years, Vegetal i.D. has developed a system of high-quality mechanised production, able to provide a very flexible response to demand which fluctuates considerably throughout the season while maintaining a consistent and high quality product.
Several dozen hectares are devoted to producing systems for vegetating roofs such as: HYDROPACK® all-in-one trays, and i.D MAT pre-vegetated sedum mats, micro plug plants and sedum cuttings.
Vegetal i.D. is a pioneer in the horticulture production field. Production of sedum mats starts in 1993. The first "all-in-one" pre-grown tray, HYDROPACK®, was developped in 2000. Vegetal i.D. has a dual automatic production line based on industrial principle for HYDROPACK® trays.
A few figures:
- 30 ha nursery
- 4 vegetating techniques: pre-planted mat, "all-in-one" container, planting micro-plug plants or plants in small pots and sowing cuttings.
