Growing the Dream...

I have been a flower farmer in Vermont for most of my life, growing annual and perennial cut flowers. Eight years ago I realized that I needed to find a way to extend my season, so naturally I turned to one of my favorite blooms- Tulips! That first season I started with only 3,000 tulip bulbs, and I was hooked! This coming year I will be planting 75,000 tulip bulbs which I will sell at seven Markets in Central Vermont. During those eight years of growing I have learned how to successfully force tulips and have worked to create a tulip harvesting season that begins in mid January and continues into mid May- five whole months of tulips!! I look forward to sharing the process of forcing tulips with you, so that you too can grow these beautiful flowers and extend your growing season!
Best,
Emily
