While your feed will likely be flooded with photos of the perfectly colour coordinated fields, it doesn’t quite compare to seeing it in person.
In peak bloom, there is upwards of 1.5-million tulips to bask in. There’s even a “U-Pick” area to take some of the beautiful flowers home with you.
The farm began back in 1974 when Peter Warmerdam and his family purchased the land and grew gladiolus, tulips, daffodils and peonies. But it was his granddaughter’s idea to create fields of only tulips where people could wander through and soak up the vibrant display of colour.
Other tulip festivals have also made waves, including another popular one in Skagit Valley, Washington.
