TULIP SUPERBLOOM at the Joslin Memorial Library
Sustainably Grown Specialty Tulips,
|
In April of 2023 (top left photo) we experienced a five day long heatwave that pushed a number of our tulip successions together, leaving us swimming in blooms. While we did our best to move them through our normal retail markets, we realized that we had more than we could move in a reasonable time frame. We brainstormed as a team and decided that the best thing to do was to share them with the community. So we brought brought 24 crates of tulips (just a little over 1,500 ) down to Bridge Street where we lined the steps of the Joslin Memorial Library. Our intention was to make a tulip display that everyone in the community could enjoy. We were tickled to see how much the tulips were appreciated and the joy the flowers inspired.
Now, a year later- May 2024 (top right photo), we're thrilled to dress the Joslin Memorial Library Steps yet again. As the sign says... This tulip display is presented for the enjoyment of the entire community. Please feel free to smell, photograph, and enjoy sitting amongst the tulips, but please leave them in place for the delight of everyone. We're thrilled to be able to share this beauty with you all!! Please tag us in photos you share: @vontrappflowers @joslinmemoriallibraryvt If you are wanting to purchase our tulip bouquets, you can find them at Mehuron's Market in Waitsfield. With endless gratitude for all the support from this community. ~ Your Tulip Farmer, Emily A big thank you to Bisbees Hardware in Waitsfield for donating supplies to help keep this installation secure. |
