Greetings,

​

Its with a heavy heart that we must inform you that Gary W. Adams passed away this morning, March 20th 2025, the first day of spring.   He was 72 years of age.

​

Gary spent over 60 years growing gladiolas and dahlias.  These flowers were his passion and he loved being in his fields. 

​

Gary strongly believed that Gladiolas are not just funeral flowers.  He believed they are flowers that are great in bouquets for the house, giving to your neighbor or Church, selling to a nearby florist or selling from vegetable stand.  

 

To find out more about this beautiful flower, you can go to www.gladworld.org and create a growing society anywhere, if there is not one already for you to join. There are still societies in the US and Canada as well as abroad, however they are looking for younger people to join. The society is losing members due to old age. You can become a member of the North American Gladiolus Council by going to our website at: www.gladiola.com or the Gladworld website at www.gladworld.org.  Please join and you will receive 4 bulletins for each season and other cultural material.  In additional, you’ll find it’s a great place to meet and speak with other growers and make new friends around the world.

​

PLEASE SEE OUR NOTE BELOW ABOUT ORDERS & THE FUTURE!!

 

Thank You and Good Growing,

The Adams Family - Karen, Gary, Bryan and Thomas
