Chrywijk B.V.

Chrywijk is a family business based in Brakel. Lies, Leonard, and Johan specialize, among other things, in growing Santini. Throughout the year, Chrywijk offers 12 varieties in white, yellow, pink, orange, salmon, purple, red, and green. Each year, they search for new varieties in these colors that, for example, have a longer vase life, are heavier, or can be cultivated more efficiently. As a result, Chrywijk regularly has novelties available.

One of the most important core values of this grower is quality. This is monitored from the cutting stage, as Chrywijk roots its flowers in-house. From the moment a flower enters the nursery, it takes about nine weeks before it’s ready for delivery. Each Santini is handpicked. Then the stems are selected for the best quality. The highest quality product is divided into two weight classes. Santini of 1000 grams (per 25 stems) are packaged in the Decorum Santini sleeve, and Santini of 1500 grams (per 25 stems) are packed in the Decorum Brilliant line. Throughout the year, 25 people work in the nursery daily. They ensure that 35 million stems are shipped annually. All these handpicked, carefully selected chrysanthemums have a vase life of two to three weeks.

Quality goes beyond the flower itself. This grower also leads in cultivation techniques. For instance, Chrywijk is one of the few flower growers with multiple growing layers. This part of the nursery runs entirely on solar energy. All water is reused, and 90% of crop protection is biological.

For Santini, Chrywijk is truly the one-stop shop.
