The Gardens at the von Trapp Greenhouse

Flower Farmer
​Emily von Trapp

I am the third generation to cultivate the land where I sustainably grow over a hundred thousand specialty tulips, in addition to many varieties of annual and perennial cut flowers in Waitsfield, Vermont. The daughter of a horticulturalist and self-taught master gardener, I grew up surrounded by my parents gorgeous gardens and blooms at the von Trapp Greenhouse in Waitsfield. I have been selling sustainably grown seasonal flowers in the form of my 'Market Bouquets' to markets in Central Vermont for over 20 years (Learn more about where to find my 'Market Bouquets' through the 'Market Bouquet' tab above). Ten years ago I realized that I needed to find a way to extend my season, in an effort to provide my markets with year round blooms.  Naturally I turned to one of my favorite flowers- Tulips! That first season I started with only 3,000 tulip bulbs, and I was hooked! This fall I have ordered 200,000 specialty tulip bulbs (that will be planted for forcing with the help of some amazing friends) which will be sold at 15 Markets and shops throughout Central Vermont and also through a Winter Tulip Bouquet CSA. Tulips will be available in markets beginning in January and the Winter Tulip Bouquet Shares will begin in February. To learn more about the Winter Tulip Bouquet CSA, visit our Winter Tulip Bouquet CSA page. 
In February of 2019 I had the privilege of hosting Eva Sollberger of Stuck In Vermont for a farm visit and Tulip Tea. Check out the youtube link below to see our episode with Stuck In Vermont!
