Tulip Fest!

We went off to a Tulip Fest today, held at Sandhill Creek Farm just west of Hepworth for you local folk.  You need a ticket, and they try to spread tickets over the day so it won't get too crowded.  The tulip blooming season is very short, only about 10 days and we were there for the peak bloom.  They could have hosted many more people in our opinion.

We've been to the famous tulip farms in the Skagit Valley, in Washington State, but we simply never expected to see tulip fields like this here in Ontario, and only an hour's drive away!

The colour combinations were remarkable, very carefully selected and very uniform.

I have lots more photos to share, and we'll certainly be returning every year in the future!

  8. Wow! How lovely to have it so close by. I still have Skagit Valley on my bucket list - one day.
    I have been to Keukenhof in the Netherlands and it was beyond beautiful, but we were slightly late.

  11. Interesting, the things not too far away that I wasn't aware of. My sister from Owen Sound and her daughter were in attendance too. ♥

  12. They have a great thing going here. Our little town of Pella, Iowa does a festival each year and the Dutch actually live there. They imported a life size windmill from Holland.

  13. They have a good thing going here. Our little town of Pella, Iowa does this every year. They have many Dutch people living there as well as they bought and imported a windmill from Holland.
