FLOWER BULBS AND BIODIVERSITY
Contributing to flourishing and sustainable nature
NATURE IN CITIES AND VILLAGES
Nature in cities and villages plays a significant role in preserving biodiversity. Butterflies, bees, and other insects find food in nectar and pollen produced by flowers. By planting bulb crops in roadside verges, parks, gardens, on terraces, and balconies, we help these insects find ample nectar and pollen. In return, the insects contribute to pollinating other crops.FROM SPRING TO AUTUMN
Early in the spring, besides some early flowering trees, shrubs, or perennials, it is primarily early-flowering bulb crops that fulfill the insects' food needs. Thus, bulb crops form a crucial link in nature development, biodiversity, and nature enjoyment. Even from early spring through summer, there are flower bulbs that provide nectar and pollen, keeping them attractive to insects. Dahlias and Alliums, for example, are real magnets for bees and butterflies.![JUB Holland](https://www.jubholland.nl/lcms2/RESIZE/w1920-h1200-q80/bestanden/afbeeldingen/17297/Allium_250041.jpg?1718782162=)
COLLABORATION BETWEEN JUB, NBV, AND BUTTERFLY FOUNDATION
A successful collaboration between JUB Holland, the NBV (Netherlands Beekeepers Association), and the Butterfly Foundation has resulted in a wide range of flower bulb mixtures that are attractive to bees and butterflies. These mixtures are used, among other places, within the collaboration called The Vibrant Verge, a concept developed by JUB Holland and Heem that combines the strengths of seed and flower bulb mixtures for long-lasting bloom, increased biodiversity, ecological maintenance, and enhanced seasonal experience. The extended flowering period of bulb crops and seeds in road verges and green areas reduces the need for mowing. This not only saves costs but also benefits insects and enhances climate resilience.More about the Vibrant verge
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AT JUB'S NURSERY
At the industrial site and land of JUB Holland, significant attention has been given to nature and biodiversity. We cherish a nature-friendly bank of 150 meters and have planted beech hedges on and around the premises. Additionally, we have created a biotope of 325 m² with native plants ideal for insects and partridges, a typical bird species in our bulb fields. Duck baskets and nesting boxes have also been installed to provide a home for various birds.![JUB Holland](https://www.jubholland.nl/lcms2/RESIZE/w1920-h1200-q80/bestanden/afbeeldingen/17301/haas-JoostBouwmeester-8768.jpg?1718782162=)
