History Boomkwekerij Coonen

Boomkwekerij Coonen has a rich history dating back to 1963, when Wiel Coonen laid the foundation with a small plot of land. Initially, he focused on growing roses and conifers, but in 1975 he switched to ornamental shrubs.

In 1989, Rob, the eldest son, took the initiative to purchase an adjacent plot of land and started his own nursery there. Meanwhile, Boomkwekerij Coonen continued to grow, with the development of container fields and the construction of a warehouse, office, and canteen.

In the early 1990s, Richard and René joined the family business. Wiel gradually stepped back in the late 1990s, and in 1997 Richard and René fully took over management. Under their leadership, significant investments were made in new greenhouses, tunnels, and additional container fields, further modernizing the company.
