Dutch aster and chrysanthemum cultivator Kwekerij ( Nursery ) Zijdezicht latterly extend its greenhouse acreage . The Modern nursery is added to the existing greenhouse and forms a whole in which the cultivator , as we speak , grows his first gash chrysanthemum .
The task has been realised by Horticulture Services bv ( HCS ) and the builders are lofty of it . " It is the first project that we ’ve gain in this path " , the owner John Torenstra jr . and Marketing and Sales supporter Bernard van Hest tell us . " We took care of much everything , from taking soil samples to progress the raw greenhouse , much everything we did in - house . "
leave behind to right : Bernard van Hest , John Krijger and John Torenstra jr .
There was an old nursery on the plot of land , but it formed an independent position . Not that long ago the asters went out and both greenhouses became santini greenhouses . In late long time , the amalgamation of both operations was high on the regard lean of John Krijger and Ron van Oosten , business partners managing the nursery . " With the knowledge of today we should have done it ten year ago , " articulate Krijger .
However , integrating a new greenhouse with an excise one , as any greenhouse builder can tell you , is plainly not potential . Torenstra : " One is Boal , the other BOM ( i.e. , two different nursery constructions ) . We had to go around an subsist b . The path has to go through , there is a new processing area and the exit has moved . In terms of glass , luminosity and screenland , we ’ve maintain as much as possible the same , to be able to develop properly according to schedule . As far as that is touch on , you have to make concession to a certain extent " .
Good neighborIt was also necessary to consult with neighbors . One washstand had to be moved , another one had to be proceed just a bit . With some puzzling , 3,000 measure of extra space was realise ( from 1.1 to 1.45 ha ) , the entire company now covers an acreage of 32,000 m2 . Moreover , it is a overnice exemplar of what a good neighbor can attend to for . With the new Colorado - generation unit of measurement , which had to be build anyway , the grower abruptly had a heat nimiety . Yet once in conversation with the neighbour , industrial plant greenhouse Bergcamp , it wrick out that he was just a bit short of oestrus . " He could make salutary usage of that lilliputian bit of heat from us ; in fact , what we had left is more or less exactly what they miss " , says Krijger .
challenge timesRecently the work for Horticulture Services has changed . Until the outset of this yr , some 70 % of the client base lie in of floriculture company - Dutch companies , but chiefly abroad - he say . The St. Elmo’s fire situation however , shook up everything , with the net result that HCS ' technicians , builder and other specialist now more often visit vegetable companies . Also , most of the jobs are now done in the Netherlands . eventually , to hyperbolise a bit , the work no longer comes ' out of the bluing ' . The federal agency has become more crucial , John himself sits more often behind his desk , his married woman has join the company , Bernard has joined for some ( after ) gross revenue and merchandising and then there are two more employee , also in heraldic bearing of sales and advice .
The greenhouse is being produce bed by bottom . Here , in this picture , it has just happened .
" And at the same prison term the pandemic bulge , our workplace here took off",Torenstra continues . " For us a beautiful and unparalleled labor , but also Zijdezicht had to cast off away flower . What are we all go to do ? For a while the dubiety was high . However , Zijdezicht kept a cool head , we continued and since then , the construction snuff it tranquil . Eventually , we finished two weeks earlier . It was a with child project . During the peak , we had 7 team ( 3 people per squad ) working at the same prison term . Now , the absolute majority of the work is done and all workers are now working at several small projects at unlike locations . But we are not terminate here yet . The old greenhouse is swag and we are raise it . In the Westland , but also in several other expanse in the Netherlands , they are struggling with remittal . This is also bechance here , causing the greenhouse to add up under tension and the window regularly come down ' just like that ' . Raising greenhouses is one of the activities that we as a company offer more often " .
Great yearTo conclude , Zijdezicht is happy with the expansion . give the late marketplace development , there is confidence in the market place , sales have been excellent after a few dramatic calendar week in the bound , and competition from Africa has not returned to full strength for the prison term being . " 2020 will be a unspoilt or even a keen year for us . "
