From the field to the city: Eline's mobile flower store

The story

What began as a small, sustainable idea is now a thriving project close to her heart: tuin9, a cut flower farm near Zutphen in the Netherlands. For two years, Eline has been growing flowers here with great care - without any pesticides or fertilizers.

Once a week, Eline sells her harvest in the city center. Instead of a permanent store or traditional market stall, the vision of a flexible, lively sales outlet was born.

The search for a suitable solution led her to CARLA CARGO via a bicycle courier. After a test ride, it was immediately clear that this was the perfect basis for a mobile flower store.

With a lot of creativity, an individual structure was created: space for twelve flower pots, parasols, a work surface and lovely details such as small hanging vases. Since then, Elines CARLA has not only brought flowers to the city, but also a smile to people's faces.

The challenge

A sustainable flower business in urban areas has special requirements:

No need for a permanent store or market stall with high fixed costs

Sufficient capacity for transportation and attractive presentation of goods

Flexibility and maneuverability in the city center

A presence that attracts attention and inspires people

The challenge: to create a sales stand that combines all of this - sustainably, flexibly and economically at the same time.

The solution

The CARLA became the basis for a mobile flower store that meets precisely these requirements. Customized and perfectly adapted to the needs of tuin9, it combines functionality with charm:

Mobile sales stand with space for flowers, workspace and equipment

Flexible use - on foot or by bike when on the move

High load capacity with a small turning circle

Minimal space required for parking and setting up

Individually adaptable to Eline's needs

The success was evident after just a few weeks in use: flower sales boomed and the mobile store became an eye-catcher in the cityscape.

And best of all: CARLA grows with you. New ideas, more flowers, more efficient processes - everything can be developed further. That's what makes it so special for Eline and tuin9.
