• Company History

A small family company was born in the early 1970's. This company grew a variety of cut flowers mainly out in the open fields of Officer, Victoria Australia.

The partnership was formed between the parents and four of their sons. The original name was C & A Boon & Sons. As a small family business and being all related we were able to work well together. Apart from doing horticultural courses and a variety of other short self-improvement courses we were mainly self-taught in the art of growing, using resources such as trade magazines and suppliers information on various products. A lot of learning came from trial and error and more importantly experience.

As the company grew with the demand of the cut flower industry in Melbourne glasshouses were built and rose production started in earnest, the first glasshouse roses were planted in the soil with a basic heating system running on heating oil, irrigation was with sprinkler lines running below the rose bushes, crop protection was performed with a back pack sprayer, the flowers were graded into lengths manually and bunched by hand.

These days the glasshouses are all automatic and controlled by horticultural computers. The crop is grown in a hydroponic system, using coconut fibre as a growing medium. Pest control is done with an Integrated Pest Management Program.

• The Future

The training of the third generation Boons is well under way, like the second generation this group is looking at more economic and environmentally friendly methods of production, this will include using "green energy" to power the glasshouses, improving the IPM program and monitoring water usage.

This website with links to both our retail clients and wholesale customers will help the "brides to be," with their selection for the special day, the florists to select colours which they can sell, and the public to see what is available in the ranges of colours.
