This was my first time visiting the RoozenGaarde Tulip Festival, and by the time we left, I was…read morealready saying, "We need to come back next year." I've seen photos of the tulip fields before, but nothing prepared me for seeing them in person. The colors seem to go on forever, and there are so many different varieties of tulips. Everywhere you look feels like a postcard. Honestly, the pictures I took don't even come close to capturing how beautiful it is. A little tip for anyone visiting: wear garden boots or rain boots if there's been recent rain. The parking area is gravel, and some spots can get pretty muddy. Thankfully, there are plenty of porta-potties near the entrance before you head into the farm. The staff were so friendly and helped direct everyone where to go. As you walk toward the fields, you get a little preview of the tulips ahead, and I remember thinking, "Wow, this is beautiful." Then we got into the actual fields and realized that was just the beginning. There were so many great spots for photos. On the day we visited, the sky had those big fluffy white clouds, and the colorful fields reminded me of the Teletubbies landscape my son used to watch when he was little. It felt almost surreal. I also loved that this is clearly a family farm. There was food, a gift shop, and even a catalog where you can order bulbs to grow some of these beautiful flowers at home. The whole area has that small-town, community feel that just makes you slow down and enjoy where you are. Knowing that your visit helps support a local family farm makes it even better. And the mountain backdrop behind the tulip fields? Absolutely incredible. Every time I thought I'd found the prettiest view, I'd turn around and find another one. If you're thinking about going, do it. Just be sure to stay on the paths and help protect the flowers for everyone else. This was one of those places that left me smiling the whole drive home.

The Tulip Festival was such a great experience overall and absolutely worth the trip! Yes, it was…read morebusy but honestly, what do you expect at a popular spring event? The crowd comes with the territory. What really stood out was how well-organized everything was. Staff were actively directing traffic for parking and foot traffic which made the arrival process surprisingly smooth given the turnout. It's clear the organizers put thought into the logistics. The flower variety was truly awesome! Sooo many stunning colors and blooms that you just don't see every day. If you're a photography lover then this place is a dream. Every corner was practically begging to be photographed. They did have concessions on-site, which was convenient but my one suggestion would be to bring in a couple of food carts or local vendors to mix things up. The options were pretty basic. Think hotdogs and the usual staples. A little more variety in the food department would really elevate the whole experience. Minor food note aside, it was a fantastic visit and a perfect way to spend a spring day.

It was a blustery Saturday, so we popped by to check out their early spring offerings and were pleasantly surprised. The outside area was sparse, as is to be expected this time of year. Although, they were starting to get some herb and veggie starts accumulated (and I anticipate will be adding more as the weather gets warmer). Inside, I was more than pleasantly surprised to find they have a beautiful gift shop full of all sorts of wonderful, garden-adjacent things. Including an adorable selection of interesting pots, as well as lots of gorgeous indoor plants. They also had greeting cards, garden tools, knick knacks, and bric-a-brac. The lady who runs the place was amazingly friendly, too! She even introduced us to their resident cat, who was very friendly. (They actually have two cats, but one is older and not as outgoing.) Can't wait to stop back by here when gardening season is in full swing!

I would recommend sending them an email or giving them a call if you want to spend some time looking around. You will probably want them to give you a tour of the grounds and point you in the right direction to the various plants. You can't beat the prices here. We bought around 40 plants that would have cost at least three times what we would have paid at a retail nursery. Lastly, but probably the most important part of this review, the people working there are simply wonderful. You just couldn't ask for nicer or more knowledgeable employees. We were helped by Jess and Andrew, and they simply couldn't be nicer or more helpful than they were. If you need plants, go to Brandywine. You will not be disappointed and you'll get a great deal on some great plants.

Their prices are worth the drive! I would suggest with all large nurseries like this, you call and make an appointment. They have way too much property and selection to just drop in. When I mentioned Wiggin's nursery to my landscaper, he said he would give Terry (the owner) a call and arrange the pick up. It's not a big box store, has concierge service, and mature plants so you get instant gratification! Next time we will take the dogs and spend the weekend in Bellingham and enjoy God's country up that way!
