Biography

Verlinden was brought up with gardening and, in 1974, he succeeded his father in the family gardening shop. In 1986, Verlinden started his television career working on the show Avro's Service Salon. In 1992, he switched to RTL 4 and started the program Flora Magazine which was broadcast for two seasons. In 1993/1994, "Flora Magazine" was combined with the do-it-yourself show Eigen Huis (own home), by handyman Nico Zwinkels, into the program Eigen Huis en Tuin (own home and garden). Verlinden and Zwinkels switched to SBS 6 in 2004. The program they had planned did however never start, due to Zwinkels being found unfit due to lawsuits against him. Verlinden supported his friend, but eventually decided to continue on his own with a new program De Tuinruimers (the gardencleaners).

Rob also has a weekly column in Tros Kompas and Algemeen Dagblad, and is on the radio every day on the show Meteo Consult tuinweerbericht (Meteo Consult garden weather forecasting ).
