Hi, my name is Anna Green, and I had a dream.

Indeed, I HAVE a dream. A dream for more green in every world, For special green in your world.

I fell in love with Gouda, with its canals, its cosy shops and friendly people. In love with the little building on Zeugstraat where Dreams of Green is located.

For the interior, I had a few maxims:

- Completely circular, for me no newly produced furniture at all

- As many products as possible from local entrepreneurs; both plants and crafts come from the neighbourhood, or from the Netherlands.

- I mainly work with small entrepreneurs who make and sell artisanal botanical products on sites like EtsyNL or through small webshops and fairs.

- I am very socially engaged, which means I really enjoy working together, I have a favour factor for people who add to society in their own way and will not easily ask for the bottom line. I believe in fair pay, fair prices and working hard for my money.
