Bollenjongens - S1E2 (with English subtitles)

The flower bulb region. A colorful area in the province of South Holland. The beautiful fields of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths attract more than a million visitors every year and both flowers and bulbs are important export products for The Netherlands. But how do the bulbs get on the land and the flowers in your vase? In this series we follow 11 ‘bollenjongens’ for one year. Young entrepreneurs in the flower bulb region, who are busy all year long on their land and in the barn. It is October and planting season in the Dutch flower bulb region. One ‘bollenjongen’ sees it as a new start on the way to spring, for another spring is still far away because you often walk in the rain when planting in autumn. Johan is with Daan who can finally get his full boxes of bulbs out of the shed to start planting. Daan says that he almost had been a pilot, but that he missed the bulbs so much that he chose to join his parents' company. When loading the boxes on a cart, Daan has to take cover when Johan lends him a hand. Images from the early 1950s show that the tulips used to be planted by hand, piece by piece. A huge difference with the four million tulips that Daan is planting today on a field of three hectares. That it is not self-evident that Daan will take over the company from his parents, his father Patrick explains: “You are seven or eight years later before you have mastered this profession. And Daan really has to prove himself.” The ‘bollenjongens’ were asked how many bulbs go into the ground in the Bulb Region each year. And that question turns out to be a lot easier than the answer. The tulip and hyacinth bulbs that are now in the ground will be sold at the end of the season. But the growers also need new bulbs for the next season. How do they get those bulbs? With a tulip this is a completely different process than with a hyacinth. A hyacinth requires a lot more attention. Martijn shows how growers obtain new hyacinth bulbs. Stan is also busy with hyacinths, he fills millions of pots with bulbs in the autumn so that we have spring flowers in the house in the winter. And filling those jars is all manual work. Finally, the ‘bollenjongens’ tell us what their favorite flower is.
