Jacqueline Boerma and her eldest son also travel all over the world promoting the Boerma Institute and their profession. They visit Japan two to three times a year, where no fewer than 86,000 students aim to become qualified flower arrangers. This international allure has its roots in our most southern province, Limburg.
