About VDL Fleurs
VDL Fleurs’ roots lie in the company that Teun van der Lugt Senior founded in 1950. He started growing plants under flat glass and grew his business until the chrysanthemum trade started to flourish. The first chrysanthemums were traded in 1967.
After a few years of growing tomatoes, lettuce and chrysanthemums, Teun van der Lugt Senior concentrated solely on chrysanthemums. In 1979, his son Gerrit joined the company and they gradually expanded their acreage to 22,000 m². After years of working together, Teun eventually left the company and Gerrit continued on his own. In 2001, he had a new glasshouse built of 36,000 m² which has since become known as VDL Fleurs.
Six years later, Gerrit’s son Teun joined the company. VDL Fleurs is a real family business managed by Teun and his parents . In 2009, saw the dawn of a new era. The garden that was built in 2001 was called ‘Tuin I’ (Garden I) and work started on building ‘Tuin II’. VDL Fleurs is now a modern horticultural company of 38,000 m². As far as possible, the labour intensive work is automated using technology such as plant robots and a fully automated spraying robot.
The day-to-day management of Tuin I is in the hands of Teun. Marco Boekestijn, with the help of Jim Ammerlaan and Gerrit, manages Tuin II.

Caring for your chrysanthemums
Use a clean vase
Remove any excess leaves to avoid leaves hanging in the water
Chrysanthemums can be kept for a long time in water, but cut flower food helps them develop fully and they stay fresh longer. It also helps keep the water clean.
Cut 3 cms off the bottom of the stem
Place the chrysanthemums in clean water or in water with cut flower food
Refresh the water once a week and cut a little off the bottom of the stems again. Do not put the cut chrysanthemums in full sunlight.
