Organic flowers and plants Our commitment

You may have seen that we have some certificates for our flowers and now we are thrilled to announce that we’ve gained another organic certificate: SKAL biocontrol. This means that we can sell our flowers and plants under the NL-BIO-01 label. How cool!

About Organic flowers and plants

As you can read in our ‘Organic flowers’ blog, organic flowers and plants are grown in the most sustainable way possible without using harmful chemicals. This ensures that they maintain their natural appearance, scent, and color. They are not only safe for us, but also for bees and the planet! Helping to promote biodiversity and a better climate. When you see the SKAL certificate or the NL-BIO-01 label, you are ensured that the product is/contains a minimum of 95% genuine organic ingredients. No harmful pesticides or chemicals!

Our commitment to Sustainability

At Hoek flowers we believe in sustainability, you can read more about it in other blogs we’ve written. Our goal is to provide flowers and plants that are both beautiful to us and the planet, that is why we collaborate with leading growers that are all slowly starting to expand their range of organic flowers and way of growing.
