     The Tulip Man will lead this special workshop on how to force tulips in water. Each participant will not only learn about hydroponics but will receive a complimentary bulb and all the necessary materials to grow their own tulip at home!  (while supplies last)


    Tulip petal taste testing with Keriann after Jeroen's Hydroponic workshop

    In the spring of 2010 I discovered tulip petals are tasty!

     Tulip petals taste like sweet lettuce and some of them end with a peppery note. I suggest trying a number of the our varieties to discover which ones you prefer and then just pick your favorite colors. The most exciting thing about this salad is all the color combinations that are possible; it makes for a stunning display and serves as a great conversation starter!




     The Waltz of the Tulips: 12:30 pm
    The Queen of Fun will lead the young and young at heart in May pole Dance. Bring your own costume or borrow a tutu, fairy wand have fun. ( Meet at the Q of F Tent 15 minutes prior).
