Rinus de Vreede Chrysanthemum Consulting

About me:

As the son of a chrysanthemum grower I started as young boy learning all about chrysanthemums. Then I had my own nursery for 25 years, so I know ‘all around the nursery’. From mother stock, rooting to heating and watering. Of course I can explain all about growing and the problems you meet with insects and fungus. After selling my nursery I worked 5 years at Fides as a consultant. This was an opportunity for me to learn about different nurseries in different countries.

Countries I visited as chrysanthemum consultant are (alphabetical), Chile, China, England, Georgia, Indonesia, Kenya, Myanmar, South Korea, Uganda, Pakistan, Russia, Mauritius, Moldova, Tanzania, Turkey and Vietnam.
