    CEO/Founder Dutch Heritage Gardens and Royale Botanicals 

    We cultivate our locally-grown products using various growing methods which allow for a reduction (if not complete elimination of) harmful chemicals. Our dedication to innovation also means we staff our greenhouses with distinguished experts in the field. We encourage our growers to dedicate time to learning, exploring, and staying current on cutting-edge methods for growing. By organizing educational seminars on site and visiting other growing facilities, we stay ahead of the trends, making sure our staff remain on the forefront of technology and practices. Through continual engagement, our growers realize their full potential and focus on delivering outstanding products to our consumers.

    Owner, Aaron Van Wingerden walks you through the entire seed to plant commercial growing process inside his greenhouse. Watch how plants are carefully planted, watered with state-of-the-art automated equipment and how the entire system works.
