G. Lubbe & Zonen B.V., better known in the green world as Lubbe Lisse, is celebrating a big one this year: 125 years in business. The family-run company, rooted in the heart of the Dutch bulb region, marked the milestone with a festive jubilee week in April, welcoming clients and partners for gatherings and knowledge sharing.
The real showstopper came on May 28, when the anniversary celebration reached its peak at Lubbe Lisse's own site. There, the company was proudly awarded the Royal Warrant of Appointment—the prestigious Predicaat Hofleverancier—personally presented by King's Commissioner Wouter Kolff, with Mayor Lies Spruit also in attendance.
From bulb grower to supplier of green total solutions
Founded back in 1900 as a traditional flower bulb grower, Lubbe Lisse has blossomed into a leading supplier of flower bulb mixtures, herb blends, and perennials for use in public green spaces. With a strong focus on biodiversity, experiential value, and sustainability, the company provides tailor-made solutions for municipalities, provinces, landscape architects, and green contractors alike.
Lubbe Lisse's products are used in a wide range of projects, from vibrant planting beds in city centers to ecological zones along infrastructure, and flower-rich roadsides and riverbanks. Backed by years of experience and carefully crafted seed and bulb mixtures, the company helps create greenery that's both functional and visually striking.
Mechanical planting as a complete service
One of the key services offered by Lubbe Lisse is the mechanized planting and sowing of flower bulb and herb mixtures. This allows for large areas to be planted efficiently, precisely, and professionally, significantly increasing both success rates and final results. It's a turnkey solution that takes the pressure off clients—delivering sustainable, vibrant plantings with maximum impact.
A lasting tribute on home ground
As a token of appreciation for the anniversary, Lubbe Lisse received a generous donation from its guests to help realize an artistic bulb sculpture by the Gildemeester Bollenstreek. This symbolic artwork will be festively unveiled in September on the company's premises—a lasting tribute to 125 years of growth and connection.
Lubbe Lisse looks back with pride on its rich history—and remains committed in the years ahead to creating a greener, more colorful, and biodiverse living environment, both in the Netherlands and abroad.
