Through a metal rose arch, you enter a garden for all the senses. Luxembourg roses begin to bloom and scent the air from the end of May. The edible plants provide a changing backdrop throughout the year. Fruits from the bushes and vegetables from the raised bed are ready for picking. The small seating area, with its two chairs, invites you to sit down and enjoy. By using regional materials, we keep delivery distances short, which is better for the environment. A large, gnarled tree provides shade. Indirect lighting creates a romantic spot. Hops climb the sides to create a cozy space. The raised bed, built from natural stone, offers easy access to garden fruits due to its height.
Since 1880, the Becker family has been involved with plants. From a private rose grower as a secondary occupation, the business transitioned after World War II into a fruit tree nursery. Today, the Bamschoul Becker in Steinsel offers a great selection for the garden: plants, soils, care products, and decorative items are available for sale at the nursery on the Steeseler Plateau. The offerings are complemented by the planning department and execution teams.
They are part of the eight members of the Luxembourgish Horticultural Federation, which includes gardeners and a market gardener, who will design a garden for the LUGA exhibition.
Materials: For the raised garden, local natural stone with matching paving stones will be used, possibly sourced from dismantled construction sites. Separation elements and an entry arch made of metal, anchored by foundations weighted with stones. Metal cables will serve as supports for climbing plants. The furniture will include garden chairs and possibly a small table. Tree lighting will be provided by solar garlands.
Vegetation: Various fruit shrubs, strawberry plants, and seasonal vegetables. Climbing plants such as hops and Luxembourg roses in different varieties. A large tree (standard apple tree). Lawn alternatives such as thyme and mint. Shade-loving perennials like geraniums and hostas. Planting soil made from its own resources, mulch.
The gardens of the Fédération Horticole Luxembourgeoise (FHL) offer a fine showcase for the expertise of companies and professionals in the Luxembourg horticultural sector through eight unusual gardens, created by seven landscape nurseries and one market gardener as part of the LUGA.
As an observing member of the LUGA exhibition, the FHL represents 448 small and medium-sized companies specialising in landscaping, nursery gardening, fruit growing, market gardening and floral art, as well as in vocational and continuing training, as well as in various areas of company law, thus contributing to the growth of this dynamic and innovative sector.
