RoozenGaarde Tulip Farm, Mt. Vernon
I can’t help but wonder if this couple, whom I found gently tiptoeing among the tulips several years ago during the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival may have ventured down the path to matrimony…

Pathways of Grape Hyacinth framed by Tulip Bulbs
and if so, what a pretty path there was to offer them at nearby Tulip Town the same year. But if they hesitated, I’m sure the offerings this year will be equally as inviting.
And for those of you who haven’t been there yet, this is a gentle reminder of what you may be missing by delaying your trip. Although there are no guarantees of matrimony, you will find a fabulous display of flowers, not only tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and peonies but crocus, muscari, and more.
And I you choose to plant your own bulbs, the farm is offering 25 free Akebono Tulip bulbs if you “place a bulb order for $75.00* or more by June 15th or $90.00* or more by July 31st and we will add the 25 FREE bulbs to your order!” – see their website for more information and if you go…tiptoe lightly too, please.
P.S. the Sequim Senior Center, aka the Shipley Center is now offering a trip to the festival, April 10th, so if you’re of the ripe age, you may want to check it out!
