Our show garden at Forever Bulbs is more than a spectacular calling card. The garden works as a testing ground to closely follow and record how our gladiolus varieties develop.
Here, we test the durability, flower size, color intensity, and resistance to disease of both new and existing varieties. We experiment and monitor constantly to ensure that we include only the best and most special gladioli in our range. This also allows us to verify that existing varieties continue to perform consistently and meet our stringent quality standards.
Not only is our entire commercial assortment planted in this testing garden, but new test varieties are also given a place here. In this way, our show garden offers an exciting peek into our breeding process as well as our continuous search for innovation and optimization.
The Forever Bulbs show garden is not just a gladiolus display, but also a center for innovation and quality control.
The Forever Bulbs show garden is more than just a visual experience. It’s an invitation to get up close and personal with our range in all its diversity and quality. We planted our flowers over three phases, allowing us to spread their blooming times and meet the needs of photography and customer campaigns.
The show garden is a living catalog where visitors can not only immerse themselves in the endless variety of shapes and colors, but also follow the growth process of the gladiolus up close.
This is a place where buyers, growers, and other enthusiasts can enjoy our gladioli in full bloom, discover their unique characteristics, touch the flowers, and get inspired. The photos truly come to life here – the gladiolus becomes a tangible, living experience that excites the senses.
Walking among the impressive rows of gladioli, easily three feet tall, you really feel the strength and resilience of these beautiful flowers. Now and then, you nudge aside a stem to continue your walk, surrounded by the gentle buzzing of bees, bumblebees, and wasps. When you look at them closely, you can see how diligently they extract nectar from the gladiolus flowers.
This is the perfect place to create captivating content, for both Forever Bulbs and its customers. And in preparation for summer, we make sure to plant even more bulbs for the many photography promotions over the summer months. A lot of product photography happens, but we also try to capture the atmosphere, to help us spread the word on how hip, summery and modern the gladiolus is!
The show garden is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a source of inspiration for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
The show garden makes a lot of visitors happy. Whether it’s the bees and other flying insects lavishing on their nectar, Forever Bulbs colleagues gathering valuable growing and flowering information, or customers returning home with a head and heart full of inspiration. It’s all happening here!
