Celebrating the start of the season
On Thursday, April 13, customers of Kwekerij Zijdezicht were already able to get acquainted with the new varieties. During a joint tour, Kwekerij Zijdezicht and breeder Royal Van Zanten visited several export companies to celebrate the start of the Aster season. Each exporter received a beautiful mono-bunch of the varieties currently available. This way they can not only enjoy the cheerful Aster, but also immediately discover the novelties.
