Tambuzi Roses has cultivated and nurtured a vision of floriculture with purpose. This vision has now earned global recognition, as Tambuzi stands proudly among the nominees for the Dutch Flower Awards 2025, one of the industry’s most prestigious honours.
DFG Appreciation and Celebration of Sustainable Partnerships
The nomination, unveiled during the RFH Trade Fair, places Tambuzi on the international stage as a frontrunner in sustainable floriculture. Organized annually by the Dutch Flower Group (DFG), the awards spotlight growers and suppliers who exemplify excellence, innovation, and long-term partnerships. It’s a festive occasion for DFG to express its appreciation and to highlight the importance of sustainable partnerships. This year’s theme, “IMPACT—Building sustainable impact together,” resonates deeply with Tambuzi’s philosophy of merging business success with community and environmental stewardship.
A Kenyan Rose Farm with a Global Voice
Tambuzi’s story is uniquely Kenyan. Since its founding, the farm has become synonymous with ethically grown garden roses, but its influence stretches beyond flower beds. Its projects, ranging from water conservation and renewable energy to healthcare, education, and women’s empowerment, have established Tambuzi as not only a supplier but also a changemaker, weaving social impact into every stem it harvests. This holistic approach makes Tambuzi stand out in the Foreign Suppliers category alongside Belgium’s Leybaert and South Africa’s Windham Hill.
Recognizing Global Leadership in Floriculture
The Dutch Flower Awards 2025 will honour outstanding contributions across three categories: Flowers, Plants, and foreign suppliers. The event will be held on Wednesday, November 5, at 3:00 PM during the RFH Trade Fair in Aalsmeer.
Among the nominees in the Flowers category are renowned names like Porta Nova, Van Helvoort Company, and Vicini Hydrangea. For the Plants category, the nominees are Karma Plants, OK Plant, and OVATA. Yet, for many in Kenya’s floriculture community, all eyes will be on Tambuzi, a symbol of how African growers are shaping the future of the industry.
