Company Profile

Gova bv is a true family business. It was founded in 1931 by Charles Goossens sr. as a nursery for fruits and vegetables and later, Harry Goossens led the company, together with his wife Nelly van Aert. They changed the company's core business to a pot plant nursery and in 1979, they began to cultivate bay laurel plants. Since then, Charl and Jack Goossens have taken over the company. Gova is now completely specialised in the cultivation of Laurus nobilis. Thanks to our surface area of approximately 25ha, we are the largest bay laurel specialist in Europe.

The Business and Consumer Websites

We have developed a separate site for consumers, containing extensive background information on cultivating and caring for bay laurel plants. The consumer website is dedicated to our products and makes no reference to either Gova or this website.

It makes use of the latest Internet technology, and it is possible that your browser may initially block some or all of the site's features. If this is the case, you will receive a message at the top of your screen. In order to allow the site to function properly, click on this message and permit the plugins to operate unimpeded.

 

Range

Our total range is fairly extensive. Even though we only cultivate one product, Laurus nobilis, we strive to provide our clients with a complete package.
The basic range naturally consists of bay laurel for in the kitchen, as well as the classic “standard” and “pyramid”. There are also other unique shapes and exclusive sizes available. For more information, please look under the heading “Range”.

In order to make things easier for you and your customers and to help you choose from our complete range, we have put together a number of mixed trolleys. These mixes are available in various themed packages. For more information, please go to the Sales Concepts page.

We would be happy to answer your questions.
