Laguna

Laguna is a wonderful family business run by the three De Bakker brothers: Ron, Frank and Michel, and their brother-in-law Chris Kester. Like many other family businesses in the Westland region, their roots – quite literally – lie in tomato cultivation. They have chosen not to go along with the trend towards ever-increasing scale. Instead, they have opted for specialisation. They specialise in growing a houseplant that is rarely found in the Netherlands: the Medinilla. They have also become specialists in carnivorous plants and a select range of seasonal products.

The nursery is located in Wateringen, on Middenzwet. Spread across two sites, they have plenty of space: 4.5 hectares, used exclusively for Medinilla cultivation. They have a separate location for their seasonal products. They operate with modern management practices. Using lighting and climate control, we optimally mimic nature to ensure the Medinilla flowers on time. This enables them to supply year-round.
