Mike Duivenvoorden from Duif Flowers has observed a growing demand for constituent flowers . " I of late lead off offering an organic selection from a agriculturist in Nederhemert , the Netherlands , and it was well received right aside . I had been getting more requests for constitutive flowers , so I decided to focus on it . "
Mike believe the rising demand for organic flowers is driven by consumer concerns . " A flower store from Amsterdam who grease one’s palms from me mentioned that more customer are require whether the flowers are organic and free of pesticides , " he say . However , he note that interest can vary by region . " In the south of the country , customers mostly seek beautiful and low-priced bloom . But in cities like Amsterdam and Utrecht , sustainability is much more important . The same go for Sweden , where I export a lot — people there require to make conscious purchases and are willing to bear for it . "
" news show reports about pesticide and their impact on the environs make people worry , but it also causes agitation in the sector , " he notes . " That flower are already expensive is one thing . But then there ’s all the ' fuss ' , as some call it , about pesticide … It for sure does n’t make it any easier . "
Initially , Mike had doubts about the shelf - life of organic blossom , but he was pleasantly surprised during his visit to the ' t Hof greenhouse , together with florist Malou van der Burg . " I always thought that organic flowers would n’t last long . But when I stood in that nursery , I was really impressed by the lineament of their summer flower like campanulas , nigella , Astilbe japonica , and even ilex . I never expected them to look so in effect . I always mean : you give organic flowers good victuals and they just grow on their own , but it became clear to me that they are plainly strong flowers by themselves . "
For the time being , Mike is still busy expanding his constitutive offer . " I am actively see for more raiser now . In today ’s market , the supply of organic flower is still modified , but there is a hereafter in it , although we have to get through some hassle . pesticide are ultimately just not right , I sincerely believe that .
