Discover more about Plantorama Kolding
A contemporary green universe at the edge of Kolding
Plantorama Kolding is conceived as a full‑scale garden and experience center rather than a traditional plant shop, spreading across almost 12,000 m² on two light‑filled levels. Opened in 2024, it was designed from the outset as a modern, family‑oriented space where plants, animals and interior inspiration share the same airy halls. Wide aisles and huge glass façades create a sense of being in an oversized greenhouse, protected from the elements yet still closely connected to the changing Danish seasons outside. From the moment you step inside, the scale stands out: long vistas of greenery stretch in several directions, punctuated by displays of pots, tools and decorative objects. Overhead, high ceilings and roof windows bathe the center in daylight, while carefully planned lighting keeps the atmosphere warm even on dark winter afternoons.Indoor jungles, outdoor inspiration and everything for the garden
The heart of Plantorama Kolding is its plant selection. Indoors, you can wander through rows of lush houseplants, flowering seasonal favorites and structured foliage plants, all arranged in themed islands that make it easy to imagine them back home. Many of the perennial garden plants come with an extended growth guarantee, underlining the center’s focus on quality and longevity. Beyond the covered greenhouse zone, an extensive outdoor area is dedicated to trees, shrubs, roses and perennials for gardens, balconies and terraces. Here you find large specimen trees, hedging plants, berry bushes and an impressive assortment of decorative pots, planters and outdoor décor. The layout encourages slow browsing, with plenty of small ideas for combining plants, materials and colors that suit the Danish climate.Home décor, pets and everyday lifestyle ideas
Plantorama Kolding also functions as a lifestyle store for the home. Inside, entire sections are devoted to vases, textiles, candles, tableware and small furniture pieces that complement the green theme. Displays shift with the seasons, moving from spring pastels to warm autumn tones, always framed by living plants. The pet department introduces another layer to the visit. Here you can see rabbits and other small rodents, explore equipment for dogs and cats, and watch shoals of bright aquarium fish. Staff are on hand to talk about care, feeding and suitable setups, making the area as much an educational stop as a shopping section.Café atmosphere and the playful world of Spirestrup
On the first floor, the center opens up into a café area where you can sit down with freshly brewed coffee and light treats while overlooking a sea of green below. The seating is arranged to accommodate both small breaks during a quick errand and longer pauses during a family outing. Large windows and glass balustrades reinforce the feeling of floating above an indoor garden. Next to the café lies Spirestrup, a generous indoor play universe of around 300 m² created for children. Soft surfaces, climbing structures and imaginative details give younger visitors their own space to burn energy while adults relax nearby. The combination of play area and café turns the center into an easy half‑day destination, especially on rainy or cold days when outdoor playgrounds are less appealing.Light, water and a focus on sustainable operation
Behind the scenes, Plantorama Kolding incorporates a range of environmental considerations that shape both the look and the feel of the building. Throughout the center, modern LED lighting reduces energy consumption while keeping plant colors vivid. Large, openable roof windows help regulate temperature and humidity, creating a healthier climate for both plants and people. The most significant feature is the rainwater harvesting system, where substantial volumes of water are collected in on‑site tanks and used for irrigation. By watering with soft, lime‑free rainwater, the center both lowers its mains water use and provides conditions that many plants prefer. Together with thoughtful climate control and planting, these systems quietly support the lush displays that visitors experience.Seasonal moods and reasons to return year‑round
Across the calendar, the atmosphere in Plantorama Kolding changes with the seasons. Spring brings trays of seedlings, fruit trees and early blooms; summer shifts the focus to terrace plants, outdoor furniture and long‑flowering perennials. As autumn arrives, ornamental grasses, warm‑toned foliage and indoor coziness take over, while winter introduces evergreens, festive decorations and cold‑tolerant arrangements. Workshops, themed days and family‑oriented activities are regularly programmed within the wider Plantorama universe, often focusing on gardening techniques, creative planting ideas or life with pets. For many visitors, this turns the center into a recurring stop: a practical place to buy soil, tools and feed, but also a changing green backdrop that reflects the rhythms of the year in southern Jutland.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
