I already jazz when I was 12 : I want to be a agriculturist on my own flora nursery . My founder was a agriculturalist , and I was growing bedding plants at the meter . After the horticulture educational activity , I have been grower at another company for a while , but when I was 22 , I had a rental garden where I started to grow bedding plants . Three years later , I was able to buy a 1 hectare nursery . To actualize my real dream , I went looking for a piece of land to build on .
What was your dream?I desire to work in a small , courteous team in a sizable company with a good employee turnover . I wanted to achieve this by building a mod nursery for seasonal products . We have been able to buy a piece of demesne on an ideal emplacement , where we have built our house and our outstanding nursery . Because the logistics in the nursery has been automated , we can grow and furnish relatively much plants with few people .
What is appeal to you about being a grower?I supply inflorescence plant which make people happy and am an enterpriser at the same clip . I continually make option which mold my own success . Take , for model , the choice of the assortments poinsettias . I do not only want to grow standard colors , but want to offer a bombastic assorment to my customers , include extra vividness . Some new varieties are being pick up well , and sometimes need lapses after a while . I analyse the figures , make an approximation for the futurity , and determine what my assortment for next yr will be .
Because I grow flowering seasonal product and still want to supply year around , I have more than 10 unlike seasonal growth which follow each other and partly overlap . The troupe is always moving . This take a lot of effort and experience . Together with my team , we make certain everything maturate and bloom optimally in our greenhouses .
Does you bring keep you up at nighttime sometimes?Luckily , I am not bothered by sleepless nights anymore . But I can sulk sometimes . For example , when I have a large order come up and it is incertain whether the plant are not yet quick or have already go too far . I am glad I am living decently next to the baby’s room . I can always control how thing are going .
Why would a garden center choose for your products?We always apply the best varieties and the high quality . We do not save on cost if it affects the quality of our last product . We screen a luck of new varieties and add the best to our mixture . you could order everything on variety . We see that customers who start with mix tray , learn which varieties match them best , and from then order per assortment , mature in turnover .
What kind of customer is Javado for you?When I had just established my company , Jaap van Dool ( beginner Javado : JAap VAn DOol ) already confabulate us . I guess it is expectant to see that Javado has grown into one of my biggest client .
How do you see the future?I can see the popularity of flowering seasonal products increase . Some varieties fall out of state of grace , other sort increase in demand . That is the great thing of our ship’s company : with our experience and mod greenhouse , we are elastic . We can scale up varieties , scale down , or even swap to other seasonal Cartesian product . We are always test and analysing the marketplace . That is my real passion : always ameliorate , always moving .
