“This is a rural place, quiet and pleasant. I have got the space here to prepare and realize big as well as small jobs. Even when I was young, I already had my own botanical garden here in which I made all kinds grow and thrive. I am still grateful to my parents because they passed the love of nature on to me.”

For Geert, the best thing about his job is the variation. Geert’s bond with his team of four steady co-workers is very good too. He likes to share ideas with them and talk about the profession. Stay creative and don’t stand still, this is the advice Geert would like to give to everyone. 

“Not only variety in everything I do, but also the change of season is something I find terribly beautiful. In Autumn I work a lot with branches and fruit. In Spring I look forward to the buds and spring bloomers. My customers know I prefer to work with seasonal materials; they won’t ask for sunflowers in Winter. The bond with my regular clients is very strong.” You can define Geert’s style as pure, simple and natural.
