SOPHISTICATED CULTIVATION STRATEGY WITH BARA CLAY

Tom and Marianne van den Berg owns and run the company Nursery van den Berg B.V. Tom’s parents had a company with peppers and strawberries, and Tom and Marianne started their own business in 1996. They switched to floriculture, initially with the cultivation of bulb chrysanthemum, but later hydrangeas, lavender and poinsettias were added.

The company covers an area of 16 hectares where of 2.5 hectares of glass and 5 hectares of foil. The remaining surfaces are constructed with container fields. Tom describes his company as a quality grower for retail market. A sophisticated cultivation strategy has been developed for greenhouse cultivation, so that crops follow each other well and the greenhouse is used all year round.
