Beyond Chrysanthemums: Here's the lowdown
A Family Legacy: Established in 1938, the company boasts a long-standing tradition of chrysanthemum cultivation. This multi-generational experience allows them to combine traditional growing methods with innovative techniques.
Innovation & Expertise: Beyond Chrysanthemums prioritise continuous improvement. They utilise cutting-edge technology and best practices to ensure the health and beauty of their flowers.
Focus on Quality: Their commitment extends to every aspect of the growing process. They might carefully select the best varieties, create optimal growing conditions, and employ meticulous care to produce strong and visually stunning white Baltica chrysanthemums.
Reliable & Efficient: They prioritise reliability and efficiency. This involves having a prime location with optimal climate and light for chrysanthemums, as well as established logistics networks.
Global Reach: They participate in international flower events and collaborate with wholesalers, allowing their high-quality chrysanthemums to reach a global audience.
Beyond the Bloom: Recently, they made their greenhouse more energy-efficient by switching to LED lighting. But rather than toss out the old lamps, they embarked on a creative project. Each lamp, which has witnessed the growth of an average of 72,000 chrysanthemum stems, has been lovingly restored with energy-efficient bulbs and transformed into a unique piece of art.
And here’s the amazing part, florists and flower enthusiasts have the opportunity to own a piece of Beyond's history, while the brothers, Wouter and Martijn, ensure their commitment to sustainability extends beyond the glasshouse. Not to mention they also practice sustainable water conservation and pest management. To enquire about purchasing a stylish lamp contact Wouter
