Last Mother’s Day, the 4 of us went out to breakfast and then headed to the Wicked Tulip Farm in Johnston, Rhode Island. It has more than 600,000 tulips and is the largest u-pick tulip farm in New England. It is open late April into the middle of May. Mother’s Day weekend is generally the last weekend to go, but there was still plenty to see. There is an entire section of tulips for show only. It was magnificent. The rest of the farm is for picking. The event sells out each year and it is required you purchase tickets ahead of time, online.
When arriving, you are given instructions on how to pick and a basket to carry our blooms in. The tulips are $1.00 a stem. Pictures are encouraged and you may even have a professional photo shoot. Obviously, this needs to be scheduled ahead of time and if needed, they have a list of recommended photographers you can use. If I had known about this when the kids were little, I would have been all over that. Once you are done picking, there is a self -service wrapping station. Then you are on your way.
I was just reading they offer yoga among the tulips. If we lived closer, I would give it a try. This summer, I want to try sunflower and lavender picking. Great things to add to the summer bucket list.
If you live in the New England area, I would highly recommend visiting the farm. If not, try looking for one near you. It will not disappoint. Happy Spring!
Winter in New England can seem never-ending. March can be a long month, leaving…

What a gorgeous experience! I would LOVE to see that many flowers at one time. We have a lilac farm about an hour away and I keep thinking I need to plan a visit.

I’d like to photograph the tulips

Tulips are my absolute favorite (well, after lilacs but they don’t last long enough). I’ve never gone tulip picking so that sounds like fun…as well as lavender and sunflower picking.
Trisha | 20th Mar 20
We live near a city that has a tulip festival and I am always amazed at how many different colors and types of tulips there are! Thank you for this little bit of Spring!

Tulips are my favorite flower. I would be in my happy place here for sure! I am going to check and see if there is one near me. I want to go tiptoe through the tulips 🙂

Tulips are so beautiful and I think too that being able to pick your own is super cool.
Heather | 26th Mar 20
It was a great family activity.
Shirley | 24th Mar 20
Gorgeous! I live near Biltmore Estate which also has beautiful tulip displays every spring. I love your photos and want to visit Wicked Tulip Farm!
Heather | 26th Mar 20
I can’t wait to see the Biltmore one day. We just received word that due to the virus, the farm will not be opening this season. I am so sad about it.
