Fans of the beautiful and high-quality assortment of niche flowers from Marginpar indulge themselves, because this big name in the floral industry is one of the main sponsors of the World Cup Floral Art 2025, taking place August 28–31 at the World Forum in The Hague, Netherlands. You’ll see their flowers everywhere, helping national champions bring their competition visions to life.
Why Marginpar Matters for Florists
According to Marginpar, being a main sponsor means their high‑quality flowers and plants are part of the show — literally part of the competition stage. They’re right up there on the world stage, backing top floral makers with their products and support.
With seventeen farms in Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, Marginpar has been providing high-quality, unique cut flowers year-round for thirty-five years, allowing florists to make a difference.
Helena van Achterberg, Marketer Marginpar:
“In everything we do, we think of the florist. How can we help them excel? Stay ahead of the competition? Continue to enjoy their craft? We believe this is achieved by creating unique, high-quality flowers with a good story. We are proud to contribute to this championship. The creativity, drive, and commitment at these competitions are truly remarkable. We can’t wait to see the participants in action.”
It's clear that having Marginpar's flowers at the World Cup has added value for everyone, from the organization to the participants. Here's what they say about this quality brand.
Bram Rijkers, Commercial Manager VBW (organizing the World Cup):
“We are fortunate to have four exceptional partners as main sponsors of the World Championship (Editor's note: in addition to Marginpar, also Decorum, Oasis, and Jodeco). These industry heavyweights, while operating independently, complement each other perfectly. Each of them places the florist at the heart of what they do.”
Florists Speak: What Competitors Think of Marginpar
All participants in the World Cup are presented on Thursd.com. Most of them, from whatever corner of the world they come, work with Marginpar products. Here’s what they say about using Marginpar's flowers:
Arman Voskanyan (Armenia) appreciates Marginpar’s reliability and texture:
"Marginpar consistently offers inspiring, textural, and creative blooms that are ideal for signature compositions. Another crucial aspect is the reliability of their products—the flowers are strong, long‑lasting, and behave well both during the design process and throughout the display period. That’s critical, especially in competitive conditions."
Chantal Post (Belgium):
"For Marginpar, [I appreciate] their global approach and philosophy of commitment to people, respect for local cultures, and the environment. … I particularly enjoy working with Marginpar’s delicate and refined flowers like Clematis and Astrantia, which bring poetry, lightness, and uniqueness to my compositions."
Claudia Tararache (Romania):
"I work with Marginpar flowers weekly, and they are an essential part of my floral designs. Some of my go‑to varieties include Clematis, Chasmanthium, Craspedia, Scabiosa, and Eryngium … What I appreciate most … is not just the exceptional quality of their flowers, but also their commitment to sustainability. … Their wide range of unique varieties and efficient logistics make them a preferred choice for professional florists."
Gábor Nagy (Hungary):
"I know Marginpar very well. I've used their products many times in my work, in my designs, and in our shop as well. We really love them and they are our customers as well. I have collaborated with them in the past few years and created some designs, especially for them from their products, as they were my sponsor at photo shoots, and I tested one of their new Clematis variety before they launched it a couple of years ago."
Franka Roenhorst (Netherlands):
"Marginpar's flowers always make me very happy; their products are always of excellent quality. You have no choice but to simply love their products. They have a beautiful and now wide range of different flowers that we use frequently in our shop for business purposes. But I also enjoy using them privately for my own demonstrations and projects. For those occasions, I often use their Scabiosa, Talinum, Clematis, and the Gloriosa Fifty Shades; each of these flowers is unique and beautiful and makes me really happy."
What This Means for You, the Florist
