We’ve welcomed guests to our Festival of Spring each year since 2012, making it one of the longest-running spring festivals of its kind in North America. Each season, we plant more than 200 varieties of tulips and 30+ varieties of daffodils across 20 acres for one of spring’s most spectacular pick-your-own experiences.
It’s like Holland in Virginia.
Our spring season typically lasts about three weeks, but bloom timing varies with the weather. For the most up-to-date opening information and field conditions, check today’s Field Report.

Pick Your Own Spring Flowers
Pick from over 200 varieties of tulips and 30+ varieties of daffodils. With a selection this big, we can almost guarantee you’ll see flowers you’ve never seen before!
Tulips are $1 per stem, and daffodils 2 for $1*. Flowers are picked by firmly pulling the stem from the ground up.
*Five flower stems are always included with admission tickets. Field-grown tulip bulbs are not available for sale during our spring season. Instead, we pre-sell premium tulip bulbs imported from Holland each September for fall planting, which is the optimal time for planting. Our online Bulb Shop is open for pre-orders from early spring through mid-October.
Picnic and Play
Relax in the courtyard of our 100-year-old dairy barn which has a lovely partially-shaded picnic area with picnic tables.
Play and explore numerous activities that are included with admission.
Spring Tips & Faq’s
Dress in layers. Our spring days can be chilly in the morning and warm in the afternoon.
Wear farm-worthy footwear. The fields take longer to dry out after spring rain.
Prepare for walking. The fields cover many acres.
Bring water and stay hydrated.
Pack a picnic.
We’re sorry, but no dogs are allowed for spring. Tulips are toxic for dogs if accidentally ingested.
