The van den Berg family runs the nursery since ***0. Initially the roses were grown outside, but gradually the roses were moved under flat glass frames, and then into primitive greenhouses. The greenhouses were eventually heated. In ***2, brothers Mathijs and Martien van den Berg took over their father's business, which was established in Oude Leede. After growing vegetables for a couple of years, they started cultivating roses in ***5. First they mainly grew sweetheart varieties. The roses were grown in the ground, resulting in a very low production in winter. In ***1, the business moved to Delfgauw and rapidly developed. In ***5 they acquired another nursery and started growing the roses on rock wool. In ***7 they installed special lamps above the roses to increase winter production. In ***1 Mathijs's son, Arie, graduated and they bought their second nursery. This time at the Kooltuin. In '*9 we bought another plot on the other side of Delfgauw. We build this project in 3 fases.
