The Robinsons are members of the National Gladiolus Council. They have commercial varieties and these have taken many championships and blue ribbons. Among the varieties that Mr. and Mrs. Robinson raise are Ares, Regina, San Souci, Spotlight, Valeria and many others. His farm is located on US41, opposite the Onigaming Yacht Club.
