Tulip Bulb Dig Days
As the Tulip Festival winds down, we host Tulip Bulb Dig Days. This season we estimate this will occur from April 15-26.During tulip bulb dig days, you may purchase a special ticket that allows you come in and dig up as many tulip bulbs as you would like to take home. You will need to furnish your own bags, buckets, or containers. Shovels and other garden tools are NOT PERMITTED, but our tulips are only covered in a layer of mulch making them easy to remove by hand. Gardening gloves are recommended!
Does this mean that there won't be tulips to pick or see? Once we begin tulip dig days this means the fields are no longer as picturesque or plentiful as we would like, therefore we no longer promote the photography or flower picking aspect of the event.
There may still be hundreds, if not thousands, of flowers in the fields but overall quality and longevity is not to our standards. You are welcome to still visit the farm, snap photos in the tulip fields, and even pick tulips.
If planning your visit during tulip bulb dig days then you will need to purchase the special "tulip dig day ticket" option.
"Tulip Bulb Dig Day" tickets are $25 per person when purchased online or $30 at the gate. Your ticket provides access to the farm fun park, petting farm and zoo, tulip fields and more. Be sure to select a "Tulip Dig Day" ticket under special event ticket options online, as this is the only ticket that includes the tulips and bulb digging on these days. Season pass members may add tulip digging when checking in at admissions for $20 per person.
How to care for your bulbs? When digging tulips consider the following... If the foliage has not completely browned or at least prominently yellowed, then you will want to temporarily plant your bulbs in a shallow bed of mulch, sand, or peat to allow the it to finish its' recharging process. This is when the bulb is collecting and storing vital nutrients critical for the bulb to flower again next spring.
Once foliage has died back, cut it off at the top of the bulb. Then store bulbs in a cool dry place, out of sunlight. If possible, in early October place bulbs in a refrigerator to chill for 6-8 weeks, as our mild southern climate does not always provide the adequate number of cold weather days tulips require.
Bulbs may be planted in your landscaping or flowerpots in late November through the end of December. Tulip bulbs, and even the flowers, are cold hardy and can generally sustain the freezing temperatures we experience in our region.
