WHY I LOVE MY MUM - by Pirjo Koppi Floristimestari Pirjo Koppi

WHY I LOVE MY MUM - by Pirjo Koppi Floristimestari Pirjo Koppi

I love my Mom so much! She is an important part of my life every day. I am so grateful to get all the necessary tools for life. I know the difference between right and wrong and how to respect other people. I couldn’t have become who I am now without her loving guidance and support. I created this heart bouquet for my Mother. To achieve the heart shape, I used aluminium wire. Materials: Porta Nova Red Naomi Supra roses and Jasminum.

This Mother’s Day, Porta Nova joins several florists in making the day just a bit more memorable for their mums, or for that special mother figure in their lives. We challenged several floral artists to share with us special Bouquets with Porta Nova Red and White Naomi Roses that they've prepared for their Mothers. Floral artist Pirjo Koppi shared her love for mum with a touching Red Naomi heart bouquet.

PIET VAN KAMPEN PROUD DUTCH FLORAL MERCHANT AND PARTNER OF PORTA NOVA

Centuries-old knowledge and passion for floriculture:
In the 17th century, the Netherlands had an enormous love and passion for flowers, art and international trade. This has led to a number of world-famous Dutch Masters.

Over the centuries, the knowledge and passion for flowers has also been passed on from generation to generation.

Proud Dutch Growers & Merchants

For generations, Gardening has been in the blood of Porta Nova founders

In addition, close relationships have developed between us and the traders over the years. As Porta Nova, we cannot do it alone! It is only through partnerships with the many Dutch trading companies that we can guarantee quality across the borders.

A perfect example of such a relationship is between Porta Nova & Piet van Kampen.

Piet has been involved in exporting cut flowers for 47 years. After working for a wholesaler in Rungis-Paris for a year, he started his career at Zurel in 1974 and saw the company grow from NLG 49 million to NLG 485 million. In 1997, he became co-owner and commercial director of DGI. As a trader, he has always stood close to the growers and often felt like their representative.

Piet likes to do everything right the first time and in 2010 co-founded the grower platform G-fresh, which enables wholesalers and their florist customers to order directly from the grower. The aim was to connect parties, look into each other's kitchen and guarantee the end customer the freshest flowers at the lowest additional cost. Price and quality are essential to success, but he also realized that, in addition to source and product knowledge, information and inspiration are just as essential for the florist.

To share the grower's story with the florist, Piet co-founded the free digital flower magazine Floral Fundamentals in 2014.

In 2020, he did put an end to his career in export and now focuses solely on promoting flowers and spreading the story of Master Growers, who grow, with an eye for planet and people, top quality flowers with a message.

PORTA NOVA broadens range with new sub-brand “HOLLANDA by Porta Nova”
