加拿大Kuhlmann温室花园市场 – 埃德蒙顿受本地家庭信任的温室花园

起源与家庭传承

库尔曼温室花园市场（Kuhlmann’s Greenhouse Garden Market）位于加拿大艾伯塔省埃德蒙顿西郊，自 1962 年起由同一个家族持续经营，是这座城市最受本地家庭信任的温室花园之一。六十多年里，园区始终保持着自种、自育、自销的传统，业主与员工多是长期服务于这片土地的老面孔。门店坐落在 1320-167 Avenue NW 这一处老地址上，周边社区居民早已把它当作春耕秋收的固定去处。

招牌春季节日与社区活动

每年 4 月最后一个周末，库尔曼都会举办为期两天的”春季开放日”（Spring Open House Celebration），上午 9 点开园，下午 5 点收市。现场供应免费咖啡与甜甜圈、抽奖与奖品、儿童脸部彩绘，被很多家庭视为埃德蒙顿春天正式开始的标志。活动上可以一次性看到全年主打的一年生盆栽、多年生植物、番茄与蔬菜苗、树木、灌木以及月季，工作人员也会在园中现场回答各类种植问题。

自种盆栽、多年生植物与蔬菜品种

园区核心产品是埃德蒙顿本地自种的盆栽与蔬菜。一年生花卉包括香雪球、凤仙、鼠尾草、彩叶草、勋章菊、香豌豆、紫罗兰、秋海棠、矮牵牛、三色堇、万寿菊、金鱼草，以及以本地耐寒条件筛选的招牌天竺葵（Kuhlmann’s Famous Geraniums）。多年生区常年备有各类地被植物、耐阴品种、攀援藤本、观赏草及 Rock Stars™ 与 Jeepers Creepers™ 系列。蔬菜与香草苗超过三十种，包括嫁接番茄 Mighty ‘Mato 系列（Mortgage Lifter、Stupice、Sun Sugar、Black Krim 等），针对草原气候的极端温差具有更好的耐受能力。

春球根与招牌 Geraniums

春季球根按两个时段销售：春球根在霜冻结束后下地，包括块茎秋海棠（Canna Lily、Calla Lily、Dahlia、Gladiolas、Alternathera、Oxalis 等），花期在夏季，冬季需要挖出室内储存；秋球根在 9 月至 10 月土壤上冻前下地，包括郁金香、麝香兰、番红花、贝母与百合。所有球根都按本地气候严格筛选。与此同时，库尔曼以”Famous Geraniums”系列天竺葵闻名，几十年来一直是 Edmonton 周边园艺爱好者最早下定的盆栽品种。

花园市场与花店零售

园中常年附带 Kuhlmann’s Garden Market 农贸市场，按季节供应自家种植的豆类、甜菜、西兰花、孢子甘蓝、胡萝卜、玉米、卷心菜、黄瓜、芹菜、花椰菜、莳萝、蒜、羽衣甘蓝、韭菜、生菜、洋葱、欧防风、豌豆、土豆、南瓜、萝卜、芜菁、瑞士甜菜、菠菜、西葫芦、番茄等新鲜本地蔬菜。园区另设独立的 Kuhlmann’s Flower Shop 零售花店，提供鲜花、花篮、礼仪用花与节日花礼，并接受电话与到店预订。访客可在同一地点完成从选购盆栽到挑选鲜切花的全部流程。

Origin & family heritage

Kuhlmann’s Greenhouse Garden Market has been a family-owned and operated greenhouse on the west side of Edmonton, Alberta since 1962. For more than six decades the Kuhlmann family has run the property as a working farm, retail garden centre and flower shop, growing the bulk of its own plants, shrubs and vegetables on site. The address on 1320-167 Avenue NW has become a familiar landmark for Edmonton-area gardeners who return year after year for seedlings, geraniums, hanging baskets and seasonal produce.

Spring Open House tradition

Each year on the last weekend of April, Kuhlmann’s hosts its Spring Open House Celebration from 9 am to 5 pm. The two-day kickoff event offers complimentary coffee and donuts, draws and prizes, and face painting for kids, and is treated by many Edmonton families as the unofficial start of the gardening season. The greenhouse is fully stocked with annuals, perennials, tomato and vegetable starts, trees, shrubs and roses, and the knowledgeable staff stays on hand to answer planting questions throughout the day.

Homegrown annuals, perennials & vegetables

Homegrown plants are the backbone of the greenhouse. The annuals list includes alyssum, impatiens, salvia, coleus, gazania, sweet peas, evening scented stocks, asters, begonias, petunias, pansies, marigolds, snapdragons and the signature Kuhlmann’s Famous Geraniums. The perennial yard carries ground covers, shade lovers, climbing vines, ornamental grasses and the Rock Stars™ and Jeepers Creepers™ series. Vegetable and herb starts cover 30+ crops, including the Mighty ‘Mato grafted tomato line (Mortgage Lifter, Stupice, Sun Sugar, Black Krim, etc.) selected for Prairie temperature swings.

Bulbs & famous Kuhlmann’s Geraniums

Kuhlmann’s sells bulbs in two seasons. Spring-planted bulbs go in after the last frost and bloom in summer; they include tuberous begonias, canna lily, calla lily, dahlias, gladiolas, alternathera and oxalis, and must be lifted and stored indoors over winter. Fall-planted bulbs (tulips, muscari, crocuses, fritillaria and lilies) are set in September and October before the ground freezes and bloom the following spring. The Famous Geraniums, meanwhile, remain the most anticipated release each year for long-time Edmonton customers.

Garden market & flower shop

Adjacent to the greenhouse, the Kuhlmann’s Garden Market stocks seasonal produce grown on the property: beans, beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, carrots, corn, cabbage, cucumbers, celeriac, cauliflower, dill weed, garlic, kale, leeks, lettuce, onions, parsnips, peas, potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, rutabaga, swiss chard, spinach, squash, tomatoes and zucchini. The Kuhlmann’s Flower Shop, a separate retail storefront, handles fresh-cut flowers, baskets, sympathy and occasion arrangements as well as phone and in-store orders. Visitors can move between seedlings, hanging baskets, fresh produce and bouquets in a single stop.
