Hans Brand grows Mother’s Day TOUCH flowers you can feel good about—combining centuries of

Dutch growing skills with the latest eco-friendly methods.

Finding flowers for Mother’s Day or any special occasion is easy. Finding flowers grown where the health of both the farm workers and the planet is a priority is a little more difficult. Fortunately, Hans Brand, of B & H Flowers, Inc., has been a leader in supplying flowers with that extra edge.

Brand, whose family has been growing flowers professionally for five generations in Holland, moved to California in 1985 to take advantage of the opportunities and climate. He brought with him the wealth of information and technology that Dutch flower growers have amassed over the centuries. The equipment, from boilers to irrigation systems to state-of-the-art computer systems, helps create an ideal growing environment. What served well in the harsher climate of the Netherlands is equally successful in his milder locations in central and southern California.
