All this, combined with professional, continually trained staff enables us to provide the highest quality plants to our customers. The nursery implements the ISO 9001-2000 quality management system, certified by TŰV Rheinland agency.

The plants produced in the nursery have been presented at many Polish and foreign expositions, e.g. in Holland, Germany, Great Britain, France, Russia, the Czech Republic and Hungary. They have won numerous prizes and awards, for instance the medals for new Clematis cultivars at the Plantarium 2002 in Boskoop, Holland ( the golden medal for 'Barbara', the silver for 'Julka' and the bronze for 'Hania') and at the Plantarium 2005 (the golden medal to 'Jerzy Popiełuszko' and 'Lech Wałęsa', the silver medal for 'Solidarność' and the bronze medal for 'Polonez').
The majority of species and cultivars produced in the nursery have been introduced to cultivation and to the market in Poland for the first time, and over twenty of them in Europe. We have also popularized worldwide over a dozen of polish climbing plants bred, among others, by the Warsaw Jesuit, Brother Stefan Franczak, and Władysław Noll.
Our offer is constantly expanding – currently, there are another dozen or so newly bred Clematis cultivars ready to be introduced to the market, three of which – 'Królowa Jadwiga' (Queen Jadwiga), 'Vistula' and 'Oberek' – will have their world premiere during this year’s "Zieleń to Życie" (Green is Life) International Exposition at the end of August in Warsaw. Our publications and the constantly updated, content rich website www.clematis.com.pl help popularize the knowledge about climbers and their applications in private gardens and public green space.
