Do you want to find out why Gardenia’s bread is delicious, soft, nutritious, and smell good?
Recently, members of Mommy Bloggers Philippines and our kids had a fun and educational Gardenia Plant Tour in Laguna International Industrial Park (LIIP), Mamplasan, Binan, Laguna.
We were picked by a Gardenia service bus (Havana Bus c/o Manong Driver Sir Gilbert) from Mindanao Avenue. The comfortable ride going to and from their plant added up to our wonderful experience.

We were greeted by Gardy upon reaching the Gardenia Factory premises
When we get to the plant we were directed to their special audiovisual room to have some refreshment after which, we were shown a video of the entire production process. When the video was finished the marketing manager talked about how the finished breads are distributed throughout the country. They shared how important is sanitation to them. They even pointed out so many times that they have the most modern bread factory in the country that they’re proud to say that they are “baking bread untouched by human hands”.
After the talk we finally headed to tour the plant. It was fun and educational seeing the entire production line from start to finish from a glass-enclosed viewing area high above the production floor. It was awesome to know first hand that Gardenia has a state-of-the-art-plant that produces 650,000 loaves and buns everyday!
Their plant features their fully automated and computer-controlled system for bread making production everything from mixing, proofing, baking, and slicing up to packing.

After the tour, our kids had a fun activity of making their own dessert using Gardenia breads.
the kids had some bread dessert making ala Top Chef Masters
The kids then happily gave their bread creation to their proud mommies!
When the kids’ activity was over, Gardenia surprised us with a beautiful sandwich buffet made of Gardenia products that features their own recipes.
We all went home with a take-home lunch and goodies from Gardenia. It was such a very memorable event for both mothers and kids.

I remembered my grade school field trip here before. This was more exciting since there was a hands-on activities for the kids!
I think they are already doing this plant tour since the 90’s pa.. My husband was telling me all his stories of going there while on his field trip kasi.. It’s nice that the plant tour is open to all, I think I’ll have my pinsans and inaanak come here for my gift in christmas na lang 🙂
This was so fun and I wish nakapunta din ako. 😉 I love Gardenia. Ever since they came out sa market, ito na bread namin sa bahay. Cheers Gardenia! 😉
Enjoyable experience! We’ve been there during the field trip of my son two years ago.
i can imagine the smell in this place, super bango siguro. i love gardenia esp when its freshly delivered and medj warm pa
Ang saya naman, sayang lang it fell on a weekday kaya di ako makasama 🙁 Anyway, there’s always a next time. =)
Wow – that’s huge! And a lot of bread, too. Such a nice experience for you mommies. I would have loved to join you too.
Pinaka memorable sa aking ung create-your-own-dessert ng mga kids! Talagang nag enjoy sila! 🙂
It really sucks that I missed this. Sana may second batch pa.
Great bonding with KIDZ.. at mga kidz at heart (mga mommies)
