The long design move of untried plant supplier Schneider Youngplants is now really about to happen . In the presence of the owner , Jacob Schneider , the employee , Alderman Matthijs van Oosten of the municipality of Altena , father and boy Greeve of KG Greenhouses , some other guests and the press , the first pile was driven for their new greenhouse yesterday .
The Schneider team
The ' old ' greenhouse at the current location in Ridderkerk , the Netherlands has to make way for housing , but finding a fresh location was n’t that easy . In the first place everyone need to get on the same page . Internally they shift a bit . Schneider bought out the other owners and has been 100 percent possessor since May last class . Then they had to calculate for a suitable locating , which turned out to be a swelled challenge in practical term . Are we give way to build new or not , where is space , where can we go ? A combining of factors made them prefer Woudrichem , where the decisive gene was the treatment of Kees Greeve . Kees , of the well - known troupe KG Greenhouses and with whom Schneider already did business 20 age ago , pointed to this internet site , which he had bribe a decade earlier . Here , they would have the distance to build a company to one ’s own taste and insight . From Ridderkerk , Woudrichem is not too far away and so the deal was sealed promptly .
During the observance also a novel petunia was introduced officially . In the picture : Jacob Schneider and Alderman Matthijs van Oosten , who christen the new petunia Galaxy
KG Greenhouses will also be the company , building the new greenhouse . The complete adeptness , including offices and other facilities , will have a size of it of 3.5 ha , like with the current size of it of their web site . On the other side of the route , there is another 1.5 hour angle of ground available on which they can perhaps build in the future . At the inside of the nursery , the entire production - Schneider is specialized in the propagation of vernal plants out of seed and cutting of annuals , biannuals and perennial , ( hobby ) veg , and latterly also some cut flowers out of seed - that are being grown on tables . The nursery ( 6 meters high , 12.8 metre roof width ) will have different mood zones and will be equipped with the newest ( cultivation ) technique .
The unexampled project will be build in the coming months at the location where another Dutch nursery , Kwekerij De Ruigenhoek , used to grow chrysanthemums . However , this greenhouse was empty for several years now .
