SAVING THE SEEDS OF OUR PAST since 1999 2021-2022 When you’re a landscaping expert and a third generation Dutch seedsman, it just seems natural that you’d operate a company like Florabunda Seeds. Although Florabunda Seeds celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2019, you could say its “seeds” were planted well over 100 years ago in Holland. Owner Dirk Berghout’s grandfather (also named Dirk) established a successful seed supply company in Pernis, The Netherlands. When Grandfather Berghout died, the Dirk in 1954 age 9. Even at this young company was taken over by his son, also age he loved to work in the yard. named Dirk. Dirk Sr. was a farmer and market gardener who immigrated to Canada in 1953 when the Dutch government expropriated his land to enlarge the harbour in Pernis. The family of five settled in Odessa, Ontario, although their dreams of having a farm in Canada were never realized. Dirk Sr. spent several years working for other farmers, as was the requirement in those days for new immigrant farmers. Dirk and his older brother Leen eventually moved into the construction trade but established a successful side business operating greenhouses and vegetable gardens for 15 years for the wholesale market. Following in his ancestral footsteps, Dirk Jr. purchased Florabunda Seeds with his late wife Jeri-Lynne. Jeri-Lynne was also an avid gardener and had a dream of preserving old species. Today, Florabunda Seeds is a company dedicated to preserving old species of flowers, vegetables and herbs, many of which are the parents of today’s modern hybrids. Dirk (at the front with his head down) and his family on the ship heading to Canada in 1953.
