Since 2004, Richard Van Schie has been breeding santini's on the Papelaan in Monster. Since the beginning of 2023, this takes place at not 1, but 2 locations in the Westland. In total, they produce premium santinis on 6 hectares of land.

Richard: "Since 2004, we started specialising in growing santinis. The choice of the santini was deliberately made at the time. We wanted to offer added value with a distinctive product. That has worked out very well so far.''

''We strive for the best of the best!''
Richard

''All other members of VannoVa do the same, each with their own varieties. I am convinced that our nurseries and VannoVa are a good match.
Until 2020, Richard van Schie specialised in a few varieties, after which it gradually grew to as many as 15 varieties. The santinis are grown at two locations, the Papelaan in Monster and at our partner company KZ Flowers in Naaldwijk. At KZ, Jack Kuyvenhoven is responsible for cultivation.''

Rick: "After completing my studies, I followed in my father's footsteps from 2019. That was always in it: the nursery, cultivation and flowers have always appealed to me. The developments within our company are going fast, really everything is being done for an efficient and perfect production of premium santinis. I focus on sales and Richard keeps an overview of all processes."
