Bleiswijk: Greenhouse Hub Between Rotterdam and Zoetermeer
Glass dominates the view around Bleiswijk. Large-scale greenhouse horticulture covers much of the surrounding land, and Greenport Lansingerland, the horticultural business cluster, centres on this village of about 10,549 residents. The Veiling Bleiswijk, now part of the Royal FloraHolland cooperative, was historically important for flower and plant auctions.
The old village core along the Dorpsstraat is small, overshadowed by the commercial greenhouse operations. The A12 motorway provides fast connections to Den Haag and Utrecht. The Rotte river area to the west offers some green relief. Residential expansion has been limited compared to neighbouring Berkel en Rodenrijs and Bergschenhoek.
Zoetermeer is about 5 kilometres northeast. Rotterdam lies roughly 10 kilometres south.
