A Tulip Tradition
In 2011, the cutting beds were first filled with 12,000 bulbs.
“Everyone loved it and wanted to come see them.
It really struck a chord with the community,” he says.
“You couldn’t make it down the aisles because it was so congested.”
“From there, we got hooked on tulips,” he says.
In the cutting plots, each shines on its own.
“It’s one of the most beautiful spaces and really just draws you in with the colors.”
In landscape beds, you’ll find that the shades mix and mingle.
“They make more of a statement than they would individually.”
Dale Skaggs
It’s hard to make tulips look bad.
Admission is free, and all are welcome.
“We’ve worked on taking down barriers,” says Skaggs.
“We strive for universal access so everyone can use the same entrance.”
“The pink buds open up to white, fragrant flowers.
Its really magical.”
