For 12 years Bram Breugem has been growing Calla lilies, a rather special pot plant. In fact, Breugem Calla is the largest of the 5 growers in Holland that produce it. In the winter months the lilies are replaced by cyclamen to fully optimise the nursery. Besides long hours in the greenhouse, Bram works with a horticultural organisation where he is involved with marketing the concept of Calla lilies as outdoor plants.
From the very beginning: as bulbs to the final stage of flowering, the plants are automatically transported throughout the entire nursery with the Walking Plant System. Each phase of the journey takes the plants to a more suitable climate. The final section of the greenhouse had its old LS 18 F replaced with a new Harmony screen during spring 2009.
