Silke Tijkotte is the Co-founder of Wilderful, a Dutch start-up. After working at the world’s largest flower auction, she became an entrepreneur in the flower industry and discovered more about its impact on the climate and environment. This inspired her to start a small nursery, leading to the creation of Wilderful. The company tackles challenges in the supply chain, in collaboration with Dutch organic growers and 15 local florists to make nature-friendly flowers easily accessible to customers. Its mission is to establish locally grown flowers—cultivated without chemical pesticides or fertilizers—as the new norm, contributing to the restoration of agriculture and our climate.
