In the Netherlands, Sion has been organizing the Sion Open for years: an open house ending with a spectacular dinner. Last week, the first edition took place in Edmonton, Canada, at Bevo Farms. For North American Phalaenopsis growers, the day started with a tour of Bevo Farms' closed greenhouse and an opportunity to admire the Sion Young Plants range. In the evening, guests were able to enjoy the 'Top Model Show' while enjoying a culinary dinner.
Innovative product location & Phalaenopsis varieties
During the event, North American growers and Sion's Dutch and Brazilian customers were given ample opportunity to view the new Phalaenopsis location. During the tour, all the latest production techniques of closed cultivation were shown. Like, for example, the fully enclosed greenhouse without air vents which ensures controlled air and moisture quality and excellent hygiene. In addition, many of Sion Young Plants varieties were presented, including Topmodels, New Arrivals, and varieties from the "Breeders in the spotlight."
Energising evening
In the evening, the meeting moved to the Royal Hotel, where the gathering of 70 people were given presentations by Sion & Bevo, as well as Kubo, on the future of greenhouse construction. During this meeting, attendees enjoyed an exquisite culinary dinner. The 'Top Models' varieties were presented in a special way, namely through a real Top Model Show!
