At Boekestyn Greenhouses, we are deeply committed to reducing our carbon footprint and minimizing our overall environmental impact. As part of our sustainability efforts, we focus on environmentally responsible practices that support both plant health and the health of our planet.
One of the key strategies we use is our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. This proactive and sustainable approach emphasizes the use of biological controls, such as beneficial insects, to manage pests effectively while significantly reducing our reliance on chemical pesticides. By introducing natural predators into our growing environments, we are able to create a balanced ecosystem that keeps harmful pests in check without compromising the integrity of our crops or the surrounding environment.
This method not only helps us reduce chemical inputs, but also supports biodiversity and ensures a cleaner, safer greenhouse operation for our employees, our customers, and the broader community. Sustainability is not just a goal—it's part of our everyday operations. Through innovation, responsibility, and continuous improvement, we are working toward a greener and more sustainable future in horticulture.
Sustainability is part of our everyday operations. Our cardboard compactor helps us recycle packaging materials for repurposing, while our plastic pots and trays are sanitized and reused whenever possible to minimize waste.
We believe it's our responsibility to reduce, reuse, and recycle—and that includes water! - 100% of our water is recycled and filtered back into our system, preventing any wastewater from entering the environment. We’re proud to have recently been approved under the AWSA Program, reinforcing our commitment to keeping treated water out of natural ecosystems. Protecting the planet, one drop at a time.
At Boekestyn Greenhouses, we are committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship. We are proud to be a part of the following programs that align with our values and goals. At the same time, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality products and services and we believe that by working together with these organizations, we can make a positive impact on the environment and the communities we serve.
