The club holds monthly meetings, where the members get to socialize and enjoy each other’s company. Besides being a social club, the AWCA is also a philanthropic organiztaion, from helping battered women’s organization, through help funding programs to rehabilitate the homeless and the wayward youth and to setting up the Carolyn Korthals Altes Scholarship, which helps members or their family member with the funding of their secondary education.
Tuning is proud to have sponsored the flowers for this year’s fundraiser the AWAC TULIP GALA !

LILIES OF LIFE

„LOVE OF BEAUTY IS TASTE. THE CREATION OF BEAUTY IS ART.”

Lilies of Life are masters at creating top quality lilies that always surprise us with their unusual colors and form. They are a Tuning preferred lily grower when it come to Asiatic and LA Hybrid lilies found on our webshop.

Lilies of Life have been growing bulbs since 1931, the same year our company has started, since then have have specialized in growing exclusively lilies for over 4 decades and produce a whooping 9 million Lily stems yearly.

Their craftsmanship starts with selecting new Lilies of Life, always innovating and keeping up with the times, they choose the best lily bulbs from select dutch bulb growers, which are then planted in their ultra – modern greenhouses and are ready for harvest in 11 weeks. After harvesting the lilies are packaged within 30 seconds and to prevent quality deficiencies caused by a lack of water, they are put in water, which contains a post-harvest product for a longer vase life.

Dutch Peony season is about to start so get excited!

Florists can start buying peonies as early as February with the first available ones being the Israeli green house grown varieties, which are followed by the French greenhouse then field grown blossoms and last but not least the Dutch tunnel, greenhouse and field grown varieties.

Since the weather is heating up in Holland the first varieties of Dutch grown peonies are entering the market.

EVERT HAKET – PREMIUM QUALITY DUTCH PEONIES

Evert Haket has been in the Peony business for over 20 years, and they have become the biggest and best growers Holland has to offer. They harvests huge quantities of peonies without compromising on quality. When you buy peonies from Haket, you can be certain of one thing: you’re getting a quality product! And that’s quite the achievement. It’s a big challenge to produce peonies of such uniform quality without the use of greenhouses; every branch is different, with deviations in length, flower size and strength of the stem. It makes cutting and bunching the peonies more difficult and makes perfect sorting a necessity. At Hacket’s, all branches are harvested and sorted by the family themselves and bunched by hand to ensure that only the most perfect peonies will reach the customer.

It all starts early season with Flame, the official opener of peony season, immediately followed by – among others – Gardenia, Henry Bockstoce, Red Sarah Bernhardt,Prarie Moon, Pecher (French), Dr Alexander Flemming, Shirley Temple Coral Charm and Coral Sunset and also exclusive varieties like Old Faithful and Etched Salmon. At full capacity, both nurseries produce a whopping thirty carts a day!
