Vogelvry Bulbs and Flowers
Description
The Barnhoorn family has been involved in bulb growing since the late 1850's in the bulb district of Noordwijk aan Zee, Holland, where my great grandfather, grandfather and father all cultivated Tulip, Narcissus bulbs and Crocus, Gladioli corms. Our small farm is nestled in the hills, 450 m above sea level, near the township of Lachlan, which is about 40 km from Tasmania's capital Hobart, where the climate has been favourable to the growing of bulb species. We started to experiment with many type of bulb species in late 1983 and started to grow on a commercial boutique scale in 1987. We grow more than 120 tulip cultivars and many are rare in Australia. All tulips were originally imported from Holland and acclimatized to the southern hemisphere and Australian conditions on our farm here in Lachlan.
The tulip bulbs and also other bulb species are mainly used for our mail-order clients, our gardening friend's throughout Australia but also for the supply to nurseries and garden centres in Tasmania and in other states of Australia.
We like to think of ourselves as traditional bulb growers using traditional skills and methods to grow our bulbs. this results in the production of quality bulb stocks. We still name all tulip bulbs we grow and sell according to the Classified List and International Register of Tulip Names which is produced by the Royal General Bulb grower's Association (KAVB), Hillegorn, The Netherlands.
