We are busy at the warehouse: busy making sure everyone is going to get their flower bulbs on time this autumn. Everything has been packed in yellow nets or brown paper, and now those packages are ...

The last weeks have truly been amazing: I have never seen so many Dahlias look so good in full bloom. Lots of plants have been nuked by the hot weather we have had in The Netherlands over the summe...

A webshop is just like a normal shop, in my experience. You can ‘walk through’ every day, see if everything is still in its rightful place, if it looks and feels clean, and see if everything is eas...

“What was your favourite part of work during the last few weeks?” I asked this of the teenagers that have spent part of their summer holidays working at Fluwel.

Time flies! If you ask me, it would be nice if there were a few more weeks in a day. Every day feels like Sunday: there is always an entire week to prepare for. If you stand up on your toes, you ca...

If you’ve been reading the newsletter for a few years now, you’ve probably been waiting for the moment of the summer at which my dad decides he is too busy to be writing a newsletter this week, and...

Eight days and fourteen hands. That’s what it took to get us through the Daffodils this year. The ones that we sort by hand, that is. There were more than a thousand varieties, seedlings included, ...

Hi, I'm Bregt Hopman, and this week, I'm writing the newsletter. I'm going to tell you about my fantastic life and, of course, the amazing holiday job at Fluwel.

I’m not usually like this, but if you are a real Tulip enthusiast, I would like to advise you to order your Tulips as soon as possible, especially if you normally save this task until later in the ...

The time to dig up the Daffodils has arrived again.

This week, I would like to tell you more about a different part of Fluwel, one that does not really relate to flower bulbs as much as usual.

This week it’s time for a topic I haven’t talked about in a while: Land van Fluwel. If you read my blog often, you probably already know that the hamburgers are good, but as I know that besides tha...

You have to forget about them a little bit before they are at their best. I’m quite good at that, my plant is next to my computer, and I am very confident in telling you that it is by far the uglie...

A film with an abundance of flowers made in cooperation with Amsterdam Tulip Museum, Colorblends, and Fluwel.

“Call the fire brigade,” tends to be my silly answer when someone asks me what can be done about this fire. But in all seriousness, this is a big problem this year for everyone’s Tulips.

We’re starting today off with good news: the Tulips, Daffodils, and other spring-blooming flower bulbs are available again in the Fluwel webshop

I’ve been extremely busy this week, so unfortunately, I have been unable to type up a long story about my adventures of this past week.
