Op ‘n plaas net buite Wesselsbron, waar uitgestrekte mielielande die verre horison ontmoet en vurige sonsondergange die oop lugruim met sagte goud beskilder, het ‘n jong boervrou besluit om met blomme meer kleur te bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die 25-jarige Bernice van Zyl het binne slegs ‘n jaar haar opregte liefde vir delikate blomme in ‘n belowende onderneming omskep \u2013 ‘n netjiese kweekhuis vol helder prag wat nie net aan toegewyde bloemiste voorsien nie, maar ook aan nuuskierige stadsjapies ‘n heerlike, landelike uitstappie bied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bernice het in Heidelberg grootgeword en Verbruikerswetenskap en Voedselproduksie in Potchefstroom studeer. Nadat sy met HW van Zyl getrou het, het sy haar in die Wesselsbron-distrik gevestig, waar HW met mielies, soja, sonneblomme en beeste boer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die plaaslewe het vir haar ‘n nuwe, inspirerende ruimte geskep \u2013 letterlik \u00e9n figuurlik \u2013 om haar kreatiewe passie vir blomme ten volle uit te leef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ge\u00efnspireer deur die bekende Adene’s Farm Flowers het sy oor ‘n soortgelyke, unieke ervaring in die Vrystaat begin droom: Van ‘n idilliese plek waar mense oor sonnige naweke vars blomme kan pluk, suiwer plaaslug diep kan inasem en die eenvoudige skoonheid van die natuur kan geniet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Hier is min geleenthede vir mense om net buite te wees en iets besonders te ervaar, daarom wou ek ‘n spesiale, verwelkomende ruimte skep waar gesinne en almal wat lief is vir blomme rustig kan ontspan,” s\u00ea Bernice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat merkwaardig is, is dat Bernice aanvanklik min praktiese kennis van professionele blomverbouing gehad het toe sy haar kweekhuis begin het. Met deeglike navorsing, YouTube-video’s en noukeurige grondontledings het sy haarself die fyn kuns van suksesvolle blomverbouing aangeleer. Haar eerste waaghalsige aanplantings in September verlede jaar was ‘n groot sprong die onbekende in \u2013 maar ‘n uiters suksesvolle een.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By die Blommehuys, soos die kweekhuis bekend staan, word verskillende Dahlia’s en Zinnia’s suksesvol verbou. Zinnia’s is ook bekend as Jakob-regop. Sy verskaf blomme op ‘n twee weeklikse basis aan bloemiste aan omliggende dorpe soos Bothaville en Welkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die uitdagende pad na sukses was nie sonder hardnekkige insekte, skadelike swamme en onvoorspelbare weerstoestande nie. Deur vinnig aan te pas, kreatiewe planne te maak en waardevolle lesse te leer het sy elke struikelblok oorkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“‘n Mens leer deur te probeer, en ek is beslis beter voorbereid vir die volgende seisoen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar netjiese kweekhuis funksioneer seisoenaal, met helder somerblomme volop van Desember tot Maart. Van nog ruim kweekhuise, kleurryke winterblomme en selfs ‘n knus koffiewinkel met ‘n speelpark waar gesinne saam kan kuier, droom sy reeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Blomme is een van my liefdestale,” s\u00ea Bernice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Hulle bring blydskap, lewendige kleur en vars lewe in ‘n huis.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op die uitgestrekte Vrystaatse landskap het Bernice bewys dat drome, nes delikate blomme, selfs op die mees onverwagte plekke diep wortel kan skiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
