Ep. 206 - Tulip Tech & Tulip Love with Bloomia’s Werner Jansen & Bill Prescott

This week on The Fresh Bunch, we’re Talking Tulips with the incredible team from Bloomia.

With Ryan, Joel, and Casey away at SAF NEXT GEN, Mimi jumps on the 1’s & 2’s and does her best to keep the tech running, while Mike and Jimi the Tulip help deliver an episode packed with energy, insight, and big floral news.

We’re joined by Werner Jansen;CEO of Bloomia and Bill Prescott,Sales Manager, one of the largest producers of fresh-cut flowers in North America, specializing in tulips and a touch of peony magic. With more than 80 years of innovation, commitment, and persistence behind their growth, Bloomia produces high-quality, year-round tulips from their state-of-the-art hydroponic farm in King George, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. Using premium bulbs sourced from around the world, they bring classic tulip varieties to consumers across the United States.

In this episode, we dive into the technology powering modern tulip production, the role AI is beginning to play in floriculture, and the exciting announcement of Bloomia’s first-ever Tulip Fest designed to connect their community directly with the beauty of tulips. Werner also shares a bold vision and wish for all of us,  where flowers are part of our insurance benefits — and honestly, we’d all sign up for that prescription.

It’s a conversation full of innovation, community, and serious tulip love, and it’s one you won’t want to miss.
