The ex-principle Eddy Dekkers has been in the industry for over 50 years, starting when he was 10 years old in his home town in the Netherlands. He has been involved in many aspects of the industry including vegetables, cut flowers, cacti and more recently potted plants.
Eddy moved to Australia with his family in 1983 to start the largest cut flower nursery in Perth. Later moving on setting up a cacti nursery (The Horseshoe Cacti Farm) laying the foundation for a new company called Flora Plant. With the vision of producing high quality flowering pot plants year round and substantial trials being completed at the cacti nursery together with his son they started Flora Plant in 1994. In 2003 he passed the reins over to his son and daughter-in-law, Richard and Tara and retired from the business.
From a young age Richard worked along side Eddy in the Cacti Nursery developing a passion for plants and the industry. Growing up and learning the trade from his father, Richard has developed and refined his skills over the past 20+ years endeavouring to bring the highest quality stylish plant range to Perth.
With a history in the industry both here and overseas we have gathered considerable experience in all aspects of our trade. Our enthusiasm, passion and research into the best products is unparalleled.
