DAKKIE FLEUR is an approachable flower concept as alternative for the existing polluting horticulture industry. The goal is to have transparent, sustainable, local cut flower production on a rooftop in the city centre. DAKKIE FLEUR aims to positively change the way we consume flowers, which can contribute to the advancement of not only our consumption, experience and pleasure of flowers, but also the way we produce them. The concept of Rooftop parks and gardens with designed systems already exist, but DAKKIE FLEUR would like to fill the gap by adding cut flower production. DAKKIE FLEUR believes to contribute to the promotion of biodiversity, quality of life, reducing C02- and rooftop temperature (heat stress), rain water storage and new social- and economical opportunities in the city.
