Geert Devriese is officially recognized as a craftsman. “With this legal definition, artisans will finally see their knowledge recognized and protected. The introduction of a legal definition is the recognition of their talent, the valorisation and protection of their work. Their golden hands deserve to be known and to be recognized and protected. -Willy Borsus-
Recognized craftsman above all emphasizes the authentic character of our activity, and knowledge focused on quality, tradition, creation or innovation.
Ornamental plant nursery Geert and Ingrid Devriese-Luyssen can also label itself with the HIB label. This label stands for authentic handmade products.
Ornamental plant nursery
O Founded in 1930, in the very beginning as a hobby, over the years there has been an enormous diversity of cultivations, including grapes and peppers. one point, however, has always been important: the love for the profession and the interest in new plants.
Today our main crop is Laurus nobilis or Flemish laurel. This was started in 1985, and as the laurels grew, so did the company. In addition, tree nursery crops are also sought that can be sold in bloom. This results in visually appealing plants, such as the Lagerstroemia (Elfen Lilac, Indian Lilac, Summer Lilac, Queen of Flowers)…
