History
In the 60s, Andreas Hofer's father, Anton, started as a vegetable grower and changed slowly to the cultivation of ornamental plants.
In 1984 Andreas Hofer took over the company from his parents. After visiting different companies in Germany and in The Netherlands he decided to start with the production of perennials.
The company "Staudenkulturen Hofer" was the first plant nursery in Italy selling plants provided with image labels. As the plant nursery had a commercial success, it developed quickly and the production increased.
In 1992, the company expended its production by the acquisition of an area in Bressanone. The propagation and the consignment is still done from the mother company in Scezze.
