‘The bar is always high’

Moniek Vanden Berghe has been at the top of the European floristry world for many years. At major events such as Fleuramour, there is a beautiful presentation of her work to be seen every year, and recently at the Ghent Floralies she showed a monumental floral work inspired by the Lamb of God by the Van Eyck brothers. A pleasant conversation.

Blossom needs air

If you want to use a blossom branch beautifully, you have to give it air. It will flourish with plenty of space around it, like a solitary tree in a landscape. Cut short and crammed between many other flowers, the character is lost. That is one aspect of blossom and air, but there are more.

'The flower profession remains one big voyage of discovery'

What passion for the profession, what youthful enthusiasm. Esther Weijenberg, at the age of 25, has already built up an impressive resume. And continues to make her mark, with surprising arrangements and challenging competitions. Including the title of Dutch Champion Floristry for Juniors and soon the participation in the European Championship. Holland's glory.
