He ’s having a gruelling time getting out of the garden these daytime . Garden centers keep up the pattern of ' Christmas Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree out , green houseplant in ' . At the same sentence , the hole have to be filled again and plenty of new plant life material number in at the front that want to be potted up . In short , Ron van den Bosch does not have to get bored , but fortuitously there is always metre for a head trip through the garden .
Ron between the Ficus Trésor plants
With a nice assortment of genus Ficus , dracena , clusia and sanseveria , Ron ’s nursery is an reference not to be neglect for the plant trade . He combines so - called ' import crops ' , i.e. plants that he obtains in the main from Central America ( especially sanseveria and dracena , as well as a few smaller product such as the pencil industrial plant ) , with plant that are disseminate in our area , especially the genus Ficus . Every week a container is brought in , although the frequency varies with the time of year .
A deep look into the greenhouse
It sound like a cliché , that Christmas tree and houseplant story , but that ’s really how it do work . " Before Christmas , we ’re running some big orders . Those are for the larger distributors and have been discussed a longsighted prison term in onward motion . Even though Christmas is yet to pass , the garden pith is already brim over with plants . After Christmas the hustle and bustle continues for a while but then moves more to the sidereal day barter .
The shoots are coming in from Costa Rica
The majority blend in on orderliness , about 30 % is auctioned . The greenhouse itself cover approximately 18,000 m and is in fact made up of two portion . The somewhat older garden , in which Ron ’s father in a gray past tense grow all sort of thing , and a piece of new expression , which Ron , after taking over the company in 2006 , had built . This greenhouse is higher and vivid , and has been fit with a unexampled climate computer since last year . The new greenhouse is mainly intend for sluggish crops , specially ficus and clusia , which profit from a lilliputian more light . " With this we really made a timber saltation , " tell Ron , " it yielded stronger and thicker plants . The honest-to-god glasshouse is primarily reserved for the dracena ( 6 dissimilar varieties in 4 mint sizes ) , which consider an norm of three months to steady down and get a salutary head on it , and for the sanseveria ( in 3 varieties ) , which can be delivered after about 6 to 8 weeks . That sanseveria is by far the easiest . The plant can in reality brook anything and is supposedly lout proof . "
AnniversariesRon uses a motortruck with a load capability of 31 Danish trolley to take care of the transport to the various auction bridge . He deal the garden with a small radical of employees , five man in totality , and in type of great bustle as now with two temporary workers . " In January we have an day of remembrance , then one of our employee will be employed for 40 yr . Another has been with us for 43 years . We ’re not a very enceinte nursery and if we need spare hands , there are not scads at a clip . But well - develop horticultural staff is laborious to detect . I ’ve been await for an adjunct managing director for a while now , but as of yet I have n’t regain one . "
GRASPFor the plant swap and also Ron , 2019 was not a bad year . The promise is of line to hold on to that in the newfangled year as well , but apart from that Ron has no prominent plans for the new twelvemonth . Although , it would be nice if that adjunct manager would present himself , that would adjust the workload a bit downward . " And we hope to put ourselves in the spotlight a number more with the GRASP credential . We are already MPS GAP certified and a member of the FloraBiezz recording label , which shows our commitment to green and sustainable production in addition to a minute of marketing . However , you have to continue to stand out and with the GRASP security , which is another example of bodied social responsibility , we hope to be in the spotlight with novel customer .
