This week is also the week of the " FlowerTrials " . formally , the Trials will not take place , but on the side , breeders and suppliers will nevertheless seize the chance to demonstrate their novelty . Selecta One is one of them , but for the occasion they were look for a dainty unexampled location . And because one plus one makes two , grower / client Martin Bolk and Ton de Bresser of Selecta One joined effect .
The nursery is about 300 metre cryptic . Even with the screen almost closed , it is easy to see how equally the ignitor is distributed .
The glasshouse itself is wind up , although work is still choke on all around it . It was not until October last yr that the final decision was taken - it was preceded by an extensive headache file on PFAS and atomic number 7 and other complications - and construction could finally start out . This was then done at breakneck fastness : already in the first months of this year ( January - March ) the pouring of concrete took place , while Martin followed the concrete merchant to place his plants on the barely hardened wane - and - flow floor . He has already much done a complete round of drinks , and the same goes for the hanging plants .
The greenhouse can be filled from front to back : subway and drip hoses everywhere , with room for a total of 40,000 plants ( " and they were all hang up there this spring " ) . At the same time , investment funds have been made in diffuse glass , so that the luminousness is spread out evenly and the plants on the floor are hardly hindered by nicety .
Plants from the Verbena Drums series
" The trade wind knows us for our wide range and good timbre , " says Martin . " As far as that reach is concern , we will be slimming down a little , but as far as quality is concerned , thanks to this new polish facility , we can even ameliorate a short . That is what I want to show my customers , both local and retail . We are ready just in fourth dimension , so this is a perfect metre to start the doors . "
One of the unexampled numbers in the Sky serial publication , the Mystery Sky
For its part , Selecta One is manifestly pleased with the timing . The traditional trial at P. Van Geest in Maasland were cancel and other companies , with whom they usually present together , go their own way of life . As did Selecta , who likes to present its customers several Modern serial publication and trinket . The show is stolen with , among others , a unexampled series of Verbena Drums , a series of compact flora which can be develop completely without inhibitor ; the new dianthus I ❤ U , some Modern feature of speech in the Sky series , several novelties in petunias , and a new double white osteo , the " 3D Nanuk " .
