COMPANY HISTORY

 

Formation of Select Growers Ltd.

The company was founded by a progressive group of 31 south Lincolnshire bulb growers who saw the company as a means of ridding themselves of the worries and difficulties of marketing, so they could concentrate on what they know best, the actual growing of daffodil bulbs.

01/07/1964
 

Company renamed Lingarden

'Select Growers Ltd.' was renamed to the more familiar, 'Lingarden'.

01/01/1974
 

Lingarden Presented The Queen's Award For Export Achievment

This prestigious award came as a direct result of a highly successful export drive, having substantially developed the United States market in the preceding years.

16/04/1979
 

Continued Expansion

By 1980 Lingarden had become the country's largest horticultural co-operative, with almost 100 members, having expanded its interests far beyond the confines of Lincolnshire. New members joined from bordering counties, and indeed from all daffodil bulb and flower producing areas, notably from Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly and Ireland.

Acquisition by Flamingo Holdings

Lingarden Ltd. was acquired by Flamingo Holdings, and the Bulb Division continued to trade as a separate cost centre.

01/01/2005
 

Lingarden Bulbs Ltd. & Lingarden Bulbs B.V Incorporated

A management buyout of the assets of the Bulbs Division of Lingarden Ltd., a part of Flamingo Holdings, resulted in the creation of Lingarden Bulbs Ltd. and Lingarden Bulbs BV.

Present Day

We market several thousand tons of daffodil bulbs, and over 10 million bunches of daffodil flowers each year, with approximately 70% of the bulbs and more than 90% of the daffodil flowers exported to the following countries; USA, Canada, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, France, Spain, Sweden and Denmark.

FLOWERS

Our daffodil flower season starts as the Cornish crop begins in mid January, with the Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Scottish crops following on in succession. This range of geographical locations enables us to supply flowers through to the end of April.

Daffodil flowers can be supplied to our customers in cardboard trays in standard counts of 40 or 80, or packed to your own requirements. They can be supplied on either standard pallets or Euro pallets. All our export daffodils travel in temperature controlled transport.

If you would like us to quote for your daffodil flowers, then please contact us.
