De Kwakel, November – HBA warmly congratulates the team at Vicini for winning the Dutch Flower Award in the Flowers category. The Dutch Flower Award is an initiative of the Dutch Flower Group (DFG). The award was presented on Wednesday, November 5, at the Trade Fair in Aalsmeer.
Vicini is HBA partner in growing beauty. Vicini, located in Maasland, cultivates various types of cut hydrangeas, including HBA varieties Royal Parade, Royal Opera, and Royal Anastasia.
The theme of the Dutch Flower Awards was “IMPACT; Building sustainable impact together.” In a short video on Vicini’s Instagram channel, Jack Zwinkels explains how sustainability is central to every step of their cultivation process. For example, energy-saving screen cloths are used in heated sections, drain water is disinfected and reused via UV treatment, and energy is generated through a CHP system that feeds electricity back into the grid. “We believe in sustainable business by leading by example,” says Jack Zwinkels.
