Fibers from local crops or residual flows from local production are used. We are already able to fill retail orders 100% peat-free for 3 years and we are leading the market with our multi-year 100% peat-free cultivation. We actively share our knowledge about peat-free cultivation with other growers. Practical tests are underway with growers in Zundert (outdoor tree nursery), Westland (greenhouse horticulture) and Boskoop (indoor tree nursery).
We describe peat as follows: peat is a ‘carefree’ fiber, on which the grower could always blindly rely. With peat-free fibers, growers will have to do more sampling, analysis, fertilization and watering. In short, growers will have to put in more effort. Our practical tests and experiences help with this.
Gova wins the 2nd prize during the Greenovation awards of Royal Flora Holland with “peat free Laurus nobilis”
What is the Greenovation Award?
Sustainable products are increasingly the norm: international consumers expect sustainability. Growers and traders are increasingly aware of the importance of this. Royal FloraHolland stimulates innovation and sustainability in the chain and has therefore created the Greenovation Award. Royal FloraHolland thus offers an additional platform for sustainable developments.Training center Treeport
GOVA likes to share its knowledge about fibers and plant ingredients and is therefore realizing a 10-day training course with partners for a transition to green chemistry based on plant ingredients.
